How Often Does Everyone Feed?

Every 5-7 days. Usually based on prey size. My snake is 550g right now. 5 Day feeding for 40-50g rats. 7 Day feeding for 60+g rats. As the snake gets bigger, so does the feeding scale. This method seems to be working great. Gained 190g in almost 40 days. He loves to eat right now.

I feed every day ending with a 3....3rd, 13th, 23rd, easy to remember.

I feed as often as they they are hungry :P

You must have me confused with someone else :D Mine is over 3 years old and over 4 feet long eating medium rats, works out to be about every 10 days...11 days depending on if there are 30 or 31 days in the month.

I feed every 7-10 days with all my snakes.

growing snakes, twice a week, everything else, bi-weekly to maintain

Every two weeks, because my mom doesn't want him to eat too much and get too big. :rolleye2:

Anything under 1,000 I offer 2-3 meals a week. 1,000+ I offer 2 times a week but some only take 1 per week.

I breed all my own food so if they don't take it, back in the bin they go for a couple days. When I used to buy live or F/T, I wouldn't offer as much just because it pissed me off when they wouldn't eat it. Live rats and mice stink to keep around, and I never re-freeze a rodent so it would be thrown out. Thank god for ASF's:banana:

So every 3 days for a hatchling is okay?? It won't be like power feeding?? Just curious as I'd probably start that for my hatchling.
