KSB feeding

Hi all sorry to bother you but i'm soon getting a Kenyan sand boa and i have done hours of research but still can not find a feeding guide and i was wondering if one of you could help me with that i know everything else but i don't know about feeding them so if it isn't too much too ask can you possibly make me one or just some tips on it?

KSB are pretty voracious because they are a smaller species mice are ideal, even as adults while they can take rats fuzzies/pups, mice are a better choice the equivalent size in mice means a leaner prey with bones fully formed which you do not have with rat fuzzies/pup, so in the long run your KSB will benefit from that.

When young and feeding on pinkies feeding every every 3 to 5 days will be important considering the prey size is meaningless and does not offer much nutrients (it's basically a blob of fat and water)

As they start to eat fuzzies you can do every 5 days and than once a week when you get to bigger fuzzies/small hoppers.

Now as far as how to feed them simply move the f/t feeder right over the top of the substrate and watch a remake of tremors happening right in front of you. :D

If you feed live simply drop the feeder in the enclosure.

thank you that really helps

My KSB is a beast when it comes to eating. I drop the f/t fuzzy next to him and he strikes, "kills" and devours. It's the neatest thing ever.
