    Most get fed on the weekends due to my work schedule, but the few critters I have on ten-day intervals get fed on Wednesdays.

    I don't have the strictest feeding regimen. The snakes who eat weekly eat every 6-8 days. Django is 7-10, but occasionally longer if his previous meal was on the larger side of the spectrum.

    No particular "schedule" here so I voted "other" (meaning "not applicable"). When it's colder I tend to feed about every 2 weeks, but in summer, it's more
    like every 10 days, so whenever it's "time" & they're all glaring at me. I make some exceptions too, they don't all have to fit into an exact schedule.
    My rosy boa & longnose snakes go off feed in the winter, so they need to catch up in spring/summer/fall, & they make it perfectly clear to me when it's
    time to be fed.

    The day I clean rats which is Thursday

    Regardless of what needs to be done in the house, the yard or snake room it always gets done before the weekend, not that I care about routine but I like to spend my weekend relaxing and having fun and not doing chores.

    Re: What day of the week do you feed?

    No set schedule since my work hours change but I usually do 2 feedings a week since i have snakes that eat anywhere from every 5-12 days. It also varies if say I forgot to pull rats to thaw early enough so only the smaller snakes that have faster thawing prey eat that night then i make sure I pull the bigger rodents earlier the next day so theyre thawed by bedtime feeding for the bigger snakes.

    Sunday is my chore day, due to my full time job, so that's when I feed. Sometimes it's Monday if I don't manage to get home early enough to start thawing rats.
