I've had my bp for 5 days now and fed him once. The smallest rat fuzzies are the right size, and his hides are cut in half coconut shells with a little door cut out that I got at the pet store. He fits completely inside them. He's still small. I was told he weighed about 150 grams last week.
His first meal here was on Monday morning because he had a lump inside him when he came that looked like he had a meal already. By Sunday night it was gone. I'm just glad he likes f/t, because if a rat were ever to get loose in the house, I would be one very unhappy person. It would be waaaaay worse than when crickets escape. :eyepoppin
Is there some sort of guide as to how often you feed them, maybe so many days apart for a snake that's so many grams? I've heard of snakes going a week, two weeks, and even a month between feedings, but that has to be for older adults.
He struck at me once, but didn't bite. He just bopped me with his nose. Maybe he just wanted to be left alone, but I want him to become hand tame.
Thank you for your time and patience with my newbie questions.
