    Diddo. I get home from work by 8pm and usually everyones fed by 10pm.

    Maybe ill try feeding my pickier ones late at night and see if i get a different response.

    As far as the hotspots go i found the opposite to be true for me at least. I had mine at 90 and then since the ambient temps were warmer during the summer i dropped it to 87-88. My snakes are still on the cool side much more often and theyre definetly eating better.

    I feed when my rat guy delivers, around 4:30 every Wednesday.

    Mine usually get fed between 7 and midnight. All depends on my school and work schedule.

    I feed all times of the day, as long as they eat the food, that's all that matters. As some are saying, they can be picky and only eat at night but both of mine eat at pretty much any time furring feeding day!!!

    My big girl eats live mice so she gets fed when I get home with the feeders. Everyone else gets fed 8-10 ish after I thaw everything out :)

    I clean rats and pull the one to be fed off so it really depends when I get around to clean rats, either way it does not matter to them, none has ever complained that I was too late or too early :rofl:

    Between 9pm and midnight. Mine haven't refused a meal since they were tiny.

    I feed whenever, but usually at night on the weekends. The smallest babies get fed every 5 days and weekday feedings are usually earlier in the evening, around 6-8pm.

    One thing I did that seemed to vastly improve feeding in my pickier snakes was keeping a heavy curtain or sheet over my racks. I saw it recommended by someone on here...wish I could give credit but I cannot remember who... but anyway it seems to keep temps more stable and my more nervous snakes seem to appreciate the darkness.
