Early evening....

Every Tues around 3-5 pm

every monday around 4 or 5. it doesnt matter if you feed them in the night or day. if they want/need food they'll eat it no matter what time it is.

once a week. If I'm patient I'll wait until he wakes up which is later like 9 or 10. Otherwise, I'll do it more like 6pm but a couple of times I've fed at noon. If I want to feed and he's asleep I'll handle him for a while first until he becomes active and alert.

I feed late at night... mostly because that's when I've got lots of time to do it at my own pace. Plus the snakes are more active and I think I actually get rid of more rats that way. :)

7pm

get the best of both worlds :)

I feed every tuesday during the day. Once school starts it'll prolly be a little later in the evening though

I feed on Sundays around 11am. First I clean all the tubs, that gets all the snakes up and active. Then I feed.

i usually dont disturb my bps and feed at night time because i found that i get better feeding responses and less wasted f/t rats.

I have tried morning and evening feedings and have noticed a better feeding response feeding late in the evening (9 pm - midnight).

I feed about 2 or 3 on Saturday. I clean any dirty tubs in the morning, so they have time to get settled back into their hides, then once they smell prey and tubs start opening, they're all in strike position.

I've fed Auryn as early as 8AM and as late as 10PM...his feeding response is good at either time--when the boy is hungry, he's hungry! If I thaw the prey overnight, I feed in the AM and if I take it out to thaw in the AM, he gets fed at night.

Between 10-12pm later seems better.

I feed at night. I feel guilty waking them up in the afternoon. I wouldnt be too excited about a buffet breakfast at 5 or 6 in the morning. Same concept I suppose. They just eat better late; it's more natural.

I clean once during the week and then the remainder on Saturday. Also everyone gets fresh water in new bowls on Saturday. I feed on Sunday nights or Mondays if I get held up.

Well I tried the night time for my first feed with the new babies, Aston the male took his first frozen in like 3 secs. Lexus is a bit more tenative about eating hers but they have had live since birth so I'm hoping she comes around, if not then back to live for her. But my boy eats like a champ im excited.

Thanks for all the responces I have enjoyed the variations there are out there.

Whenever I get the food...usually afternoon

And thats number 2 gone she took it like a champ, im glad that they will take frozen...daddy's little girl i love it.

I feed all of the ball pythons in my store between 12:00-7:00pm (full lighting meanwhile) and they eat, but their feeding response doesn't compare to when I was feeding my BPs at night.

We tidy everyone's home up early in the day on Wednesday and then start the feeding routine about 8 p.m. that night.

I start scenting the room around 8pm or so and start the actual feeding around 10pm. I try to clean tubs a day or two before, so they won't be stressed on feeding day.

I feed all my snakes on friday between 3-7pm. I feed all my colubrids and '07 BP first then i feed my '06 BP and my Dumeril's Ground Boa. never had any problems...and have now finally got my dumeril'sand '06 BP on f/t and finally got my dumeril's to start taking rats.
