    How Often Does Everyone Feed?
    I've been keeping my bps on a weekly feeding schedule since I rescued her. I don't have a scale, but she seems to be getting really heavy and much stronger. My male doesn't eat as often as she does, I think she would eat every day if I gave her the chance.

    My question is how often do you guys feed a healthy adult?

    I offered everyone a meal weekly. They can take it or leave it.

    Under 500g, every 5 days

    I feed my snakes that are under a year old every five days, my adults are every seven days. If you have no intention in breeding you can feed every ten days, but if they go off feed, start them at a seven day schedule again. Then when they plump back up, you can go back to every 10 days.

    I feed every 10 days, depending on the availablity of frozen rats...

    About every 10 days for the boys, 'cept the Kingsnake. He gets a mouse every 6-7 days.

    Every 7-10 days for everyone except hatchlings, and the burm.
    Our burm gets fed once every 20 days, and the hatchlings get food every 5.

    I feed every 7 and my snakes are only between 100-200g, I figure that it is a very easy schedule for them to stay on and very easy for me to keep track of.

    Thanks for all the responses. I have no intention on breeding her this year, I may next season if I have a rack built... And if I can find a decent fridge to make an incubator. So I'm going to bring her down to a 10 day feeding schedule instead of 7.


    Thanks guys.

    I feed every 5 days until they hit 500 grams then go to a 7 day feeding!
