    Once a week or every other week?
    Hello Everyone,
    I just had a quick question to ask... Does anyone feed their BPs twice a week when they get to a certain size? Because my male is 1100 or so grams and I was just wondering if I should ever cut back on his feeding. So, should I start feeding him twice a week or keep him going at once a week?
    Thanks a ton,

    If anything you would feed hatchlings twice a week, not adults.

    Feeding adults too much or too often can put them off feed.

    hatchlings here are fed every 3 days till their 400 grams then moved to 5 days.

    Once they have reached the 800+ range i then go by their behavior of either every 7/10/14 days.

    What do you mean by their behavior?

    Behavior as in feeding response per schedule. Just have to read each individual snake as they eat when they are hungry.
