Lude thinks BG is right about this one. Lude has noticed this in his snake also. Lude will now stop stealing BG's gimmick

Re: Night vs Day Feeding
I feed mine at night all the time. I'd feel like if I tried feeding mine during the day it would be the equivalent of someone waking me up at 2AM to eat dinner.

Re: Night vs Day Feeding
This issue is similar to the live vs frozen debate for me. If I want to get a picky eater to eat it's going to be prescent, live and late at night in the dark.
Once they are established they will eat just fine during the daytime, but I still feed at night.

I feed whenever I happen to get the rats thawed out. Sometimes I have to wait till after work, sometimes I feed them in the morning. I do tend to get the best feeding response at night though. :D

Re: Night vs Day Feeding
Nowa days i feed at night when its dark, this is more down to the job i have then a prefered choice as before i used to feed them sparadically during the day and on a night. I havent noticed a real difference really either. All my snakes that are eatin well i would put money on them taking food during the day too. After all if you buy a snake from a pet store it will have no doubt been fed during the day.

Big Gunns will tell his fans another story about night and day feeding. An importer BG knows well once told him that trappers in Africa can't catch Ball Pythons at night because they are INSANE. Supposedly they act like Retics in feeding mode, and will just strike at anything that moves.

Same here - they eat when food is offered, day or night.
