Do you feed on a schedule?

[trousersnakes]

How many of you feed on the same day each week? If my bp does not eat on Saturday I usually wait until the nex Saturday to try again. Is that a normal practice or do you guys tend to try again in a few days of they did not eat?

Every Friday evening. If they don't eat (very rare for me), they'll see another one that looks just like it in 7 days. This is for adults only.

Juvies get offered every 5 days until they reach around 400 grams, then they go to every Friday. I have no scientific reasoning for switching to once a week when they hit 400 grams, but it's a system that works for me.

I feed my bp's every seven days. I feed my boa's every seven until they hit around 1500 grams. Then they switch to every 10 days. If the boa's start looking over weight then I'll switch them to ever 14 days.

I feed all three of mine on Tuesday.

I use a loose schedule not wedded to anything to exactly usually Sunday nights but sometimes Saturday or Monday. Some that have skipped a few meals might get an extra mid week with the little ones if they are interested. They get on Sunday and every second Thursday or so. not a exact timetable just what works that week.

I tend to look at the interest level a animal that is really interested might get a second meal here and there the ones whom are not don't. I tend to allow the snakes to decide.

Right now I feed every 5-7 days. Not on a particular day. Once they get older I will pick a day of the week for feeding.

Yep. I do monday and friday , I feed my normals and purple albino retic. Sometimes, one of my normals will refuse to consume (but will strike&constrict). I just wait till next feeding day, then she'll feed.
I do wed and sunday for my granite yellow anacondas. There alway's hungry so I've never had any feeding problem's. There feeding responses are INSANE! So, fast and violent Yikes!

I feed my young ball pythons every 4 days and sub-adults/adults every 8 days

I feed mine on the weekend. I don't have a set day but I just aim for sometime during the weekend.

[HighVoltageRoyals]

I feed all of mine on Tuesday.

It's just easier for me to keep track when I designate a day to it. Without the schedule, I would have to look up the last time I fed on my tracking software to gauge if I needed to feed or not and why bother with that when I can just be like, "Oh, Tuesday already? Time for feeding!"

I think I'll be switching it up soon and do two times a week when I get my own rat colony up but that's not for a couple months or so.
