    Importance of a regular feeding schedule.
    Is it important to have a regular feeding schedule for BPs? Personally I am in no way consistent with how long I go between feeding periods. Its always somewhere between 4-8 days between feedings(usually 6 or 7), but I was wondering today if it should always be consistent, like should they ALWAYs be fed on the same day every week or does it even matter as long as they get fed? Anyways...just something I was thinking about.

    I really don't think it matters. I'm feeding my babies 5-6 days a week. adults 6-7, but I always keep track of when each last fed. As long they are doing well for you I think it is fine. I'm sure in the WILD they are fed exactly the same time and day every week right? ;)

    I don't think it matters. They are opportunistic feeders in the wild so they eat when they can. They probably get more food in captivity than they really need anyway. I feed everyone pretty lean during the winter, even my babies usually eat every 4-8 days. I don't sell non-feeders so I don't really keep track of feeding anymore.
