Once a week or every other week?
Hello Everyone,
I just had a quick question to ask... Does anyone feed their BPs twice a week when they get to a certain size? Because my male is 1100 or so grams and I was just wondering if I should ever cut back on his feeding. So, should I start feeding him twice a week or keep him going at once a week?
Thanks a ton,

Re: Once or Twice a Week?
If anything you would feed hatchlings twice a week, not adults.
Feeding adults too much or too often can put them off feed.

hatchlings here are fed every 3 days till their 400 grams then moved to 5 days.
Once they have reached the 800+ range i then go by their behavior of either every 7/10/14 days.

What do you mean by their behavior?

Behavior as in feeding response per schedule. Just have to read each individual snake as they eat when they are hungry.
