Your Feeding Schedules?

I feed every body on every Monday. If someone refuses to eat, I comfort them by letting them know another Monday is just around the corner ;)

When I have juveniles in my racks, I feed them every 5 to 6 days until they hit about 500 grams.

I only keep males so I don't get all crazy about growing them out as fast as I can...

Everyone gets fed on Wednesday with an appropriate size rat. Everyone who doesn't eat forfeits their rat to one of the garbage disposal snakes (generally my pastel female or snow female).

Males once a week (size depends on there size)
Breeder females (twice a week poss 3 depending on the female an if theres left overs)

Once their get bigger, are not as aggressive with feeding and start skipping meals is when I start adjusting their feeding schedule to every 7 days.

They obviously don't need/want as much food anymore hence the adjustment.

Be in tune with your BP and he will let you know ;)

You will be perfectly be fine feeding your BP every 7 days since he is a pet.

My ball pythons eat every 7 days. My boas eat every 10 to keep them from becoming little chubsters. lol. Also, because my BCI is a little slow to digest. So I don't want to overload her system. :gj:
