missed feeding day

you know guys i feel like such and __________ jerk. because over the past few weeks ive been missing rockys feeding day. i still feed him and all but not on the day i usualy would. either the pet sotres around me dont have any mice in (because i feed live) or im 2 busy and havent got the time to go and get him some mice. you think this is hurting him at all if he doesnt eat on a cenrtain day every week. dont get me wronge guys i just wanna make this clear im not neglecting him im still feeding him just not on his usual feeding day which would be on tuesday. but i feel like such an **************** "bad world" lol

Deep breath. Let it out. You're just fine. I wouldn't worry about it at all. As long as you are pretty close to a week between feedings I don't see any problems. The only problem I can see is your blood pressure as it goes through the roof. ;)

lol haha yea i have like no patience at all i just had to make sure this would screw him up or anything lol

That's the best thing about the bps (and children for that matter), they give you infinite lessons on patience. I'm much better about my raging case of OCD, first introduced when I bought my first snake. I only check temps like once a day. (ok sometimes twice) and I don't freak out if I didn't see them sticking their head out of their hides. Right now I'm fully occupied with morphs and it has me totally consumed. I'm even dragging my sister down with me. :devilish: So I can sympathize with you, but really I would just go relax and enjoy your snake. :D (that blood pressure back to normal yet? ;) )

Think about it like this... in the wild, do you really think they can count on finding food every Tuesday?? Not a chance! Sometimes it'll come within a week, sometimes it'll be a couple weeks, sometimes longer. There's absolutely NOTHING wrong with not feeding on a specific day, that's just silly.

It's no big deal, unless you're skipping a week, or a month, lol. I really believe that our pet snakes are grossly overfed compared to being in the wild, hehe. I feed mine every 7-10 days and everything is fine.

ok today right i feed rocky 2 mice they where small because thats all they had and i know he's still hungry cuz once i put him back in his cage he was out a little bit looking for more food. so should i feed him another snake or should i wait till i can feed him again next week
