    Lightbulb Feeding schedule for hatchlings/juveniles for Breeders

    Can anyone give me an idea on how breeders feed snakes that's about to get sold. I've bought snakes that's a year old , well kept and still small . I feed my snakes weekly and can see how fast they grow . I know they don't feed so frequently in the wild , but don't want to starve them . Do you skip a week ?

    For some breeder it's not as much of a frequency than it is smaller size prey, breeders with thousands of animals often maintenance feed offering smaller prey size than a pet owner or small breeder would.

    Personally whether the animals are for sale or holdbacks they feed the same size once a week.

    I like to see my hatchlings and juveniles flourish, so I feed them frequently. 5-7 days usually. Decent sized meals
