    Ok so im moving out of home this week or next week, should i skip a feeding of my bp since its gonna have her home change or it doesnt mather as long as she's with the same people (me and my gf) ?

    How far is the move? I take my snakes to the reptile shows sometimes it's about 90 minutes one way. I don't feed around 4 days before I take them. I never had any problems. hope this helps you, don

    Agree with Don, better to take the chance of going a couple of days without food, than taking a chance on regurgitation.

    It won't hurt it at all to go without food for a few weeks. In fact there are some who say, and I'm beginning to agree that it's more beneficial to your animals to stagger their feeding and even skip some feedings altogether. More natural since snakes don't eat every Thursday night at 7:30pm in the wild.

    I think everyone tends to lose track of that fact!

    I agree with it too. I would wait on the feeding and give your bp at least a week to get situated in the new place. That way he/she won't be stressed, then continue with the feedings like you always have.
