feeding?!?

i need some help. how often should u feed a bp? i have been told soo many different answers, please help!!

It depends on how old your snake is.

My girl is 5-6 years old, I feed her every 10 days. I believe some people feed theirs once a week, but I find that offering food on the 7th day, my BP just isn't interested. On the 9th or 10th day, she's ready for a meal.

If you do a forum search you should find lots and lots of threads related to feeding schedules :)

For a baby, you can go every 5-7 days. A juvie would do good once every 7 days. For an adult anywhere from 7-14 days is fine.

I feed my baby every 7 days and my adults every 14 and they seem to do well on that schedule. For adults it is more about knowing your animal and whether you are feeding it up to breed or simply maintaining a good weight.

Prey items should be about as thick as the snake's thickest point.
