feeding schedule

Ok so I have my baby girl Reggie on the 4 day rotation (feed on day one, let sit for 48 hours, handle next two nights for 10 or 15 mins, repeat). So last night was feeding night. Usually after I feed her she's back in her hides. Tonight when I came over to her tub she popped out of her hide to investigate. When I took out her water bowl to clean it she got REALLY curious and the tongue was going nuts. I thought to myself that she couldn't be hungry again, but I figured I'd find out. She was.

Right now I'm feeding her mouse weanlings I got from MiceDirect (got 50 of them for $12). Time to start double feeding?

how big is she? one meal per week is enough.

I try to feed every week on Monday, tues or Wed...

I feed weekly unless there is some need to skip a week or something.

Yeah, my ball does the same thing...but I still don't feed outside of the schedule. Keep to the schedule.

I feed (1) medium live mouse once per week usually on Monday or Tuesday

i usually toss the bigger boy and girl a small rat once a week and the little girl i break her feeding up in 2. 1 good sized mouse on monday and another on thursday.

i wanna know why your female's name is reggie. any reference to an indiana jones film?

just feed once a week no matter what.

Wow you're the first person to get that.

It was supposed to be a male but Jason Brock goofed while showing me a bunch of snakes in a short period. I didn't notice until I got home and looked close at the bag she came in. By that time I had her named (and wasn't going to change it!). I figure that Reggie still works, I had an aunt named Regina.

Anyway tonight she is firm coiled up in her warm hide so I think that did the trick. I'll stay with the once a week thing but may need to pay more attention to her after she eats the first.

my thoughts on double feedings is that if your snake is eating 2 feeders per meal, then you need to up your feeder size so that its only one feeder per meal.

especially if you are feeding 2 feeders a meal 2 times a week, probably time to up your feeder size.
