    Question Feeding schedule for 27g MBK

    Greetings!
    I got my sweetie pie Blackie (preliminary female) a week ago. She was already in blue and successfully shed 4 days later.
    At the store, there were feeding her mice pinkies so I grabbed a bunch. Planning to feed her every 5 days.

    But I wonder what's a general recommendation on feeding these guys? Is it similar to BP -- 10% weight every 5-7 (or 14 days for the adults)?

    Please share your thought!
    Thanks.

    1.0 Mex Black Kingsnake (Blackie)
    and various other creatures

    A feeder that leaves a barely visible lump every 5-7 days is fine. MBK's are garbage disposals and will happily overeat so I feed my female a jumbo mouse, rabbit kit, or quail chick every 7-10 days even though it doesn't leave a lump at all.
