Anyone else have a BP that will only eat in the evening or at night?
So I have this normal girl that, if I offer her food when the sun is u, she just will not eat. But come 9pm or later, if I offer her food, she snaps it right up.
Anyone else have a BP that does this?
My other BP eats whenever. He's a pig!

Well since they are active at night, and rest during the day, yes makes sense.

I have a few that eat better in the morning, no idea why but they rarely eat at night.
But mostly my snakes prefer night feedings.

Yea, I know they're more active at night, it's just strange one will eat only at night and the other eats any time of the day.
They certainly do have different personalities.

Yeah it totally makes sense. I'm lucky that all of my snakes will eat at any time of the day, they don't care as long as they're getting their meal!

My BP won't eat until the sun goes down. He prefers the darkness.

They are nocturnal. That is like asking why your friend won't eat dinner at 4 in the morning.
They are active at night, not during the day. They hunt at night. They eat at night. Some snakes will eat during the day if they aren't too picky. But the majority will only eat at night.
I only feed at night.

In the wild, they hunt at night when the rodents are out. I have only fed at night so I don't know if they will eat during the day!
