How often do you feed

Just wondering how often everyone is feeding.

Say newborn to 200g
200g - 1000g
1000g upward

Anything under a year I'm usually feeding every 4 days. Over a year 5-7, might switch back to 4 if they are still small. 1000+ grams depends, males are usually every 14 days, females are every 7, but if they had eggs and need to gain weight, they are back on the 4 day schedule. That's just my practices in a nutshell.

Oh, and I'm breeding, so this is a heavier feeding schedule than people who keep bps for pets would do.

Usually I'll feed every 5 days for hatchlings until about 250-300g ish, depending on the size of the hatchling, of course.

After that I put them on every 7 days.

This is what I do for my pet bps.

Depends on the animals some get food every 5 days until they reach 250/300 grams some don't, after that it's once a week for everyone.

Once a week for everyone, so it's one shot for all.

I feed my '08 male a small rat every 10 days...

I only have adults at the moment and the male is off feed but I feed the female who's still eating two small rats a week. the female is 2152g and the male is 2248g.

My baby eats a hopper-small adult mouse every 5days.

I feed hatchling every 5 days and adults are all offered weekly if they eat or not!

I am feeding mine every 5 days. How old are most snakes when the reach the 200g weight? I know it varies, but a rough idea.

This is pretty much as i thought for breeding purposes
But pet feeding is also what i thought it would be

I suppose some look at it as power feeding but hey thats up to them

Thanks all for the input

Under 300 grams get fed every 5 days. 300 grams and up every 7 days.

under 500 grams gets every 4-7 days

under 1000 grams gets every 7 days

From then on, females get fed every 7 days, and males get fed every 10-14 days. Males make much more consistent breeders if they're more trim and less overweight.

It's important to note prey size. I don't feed small meals.

These are also general guidelines I use for myself. I'll switch things up for individual animals based on their appearance, activity/apparent hunger, breeding cycle/putting on weight after laying eggs, and if they've come off of a food strike.
