    question for people who feed on a 4 day schedule
    hey, so i feed my two bp hatchlings that are 3 months old a rat fuzzie that is a little smaller than his widest part of his body they always weigh between 12-17 grams and my snakes are 134 grams and 126 grams but i havent gotten to weigh them after they shed and go to the bathroom so im not sure of their weight if they are empty. so im wondering if im feeding them enough for them to have a healthy weight gain. they've never refused a meal wether its f/t or live. Any advice would be helpful thanks.

    Your good. I would feed them as big as the widest part of the BPs body. If you went a little bigger you could feed them twice in one week.

    That's fine, I personally feed on a 5 day feed schedule til they reach 500g or so, then they go on a 7day schedule

    We feed on a four day schedule. Males up to 700g and females up to 1500g then onto every eight days.
