    What & When feeding question.

    Hi, I am just wondering about feeding from hatchling to adult hood & when and what you should move them up to. Do you go by grams or thickness? How often do you feed?



    Also does anybody know of a thread that goes through all the steps of breeding? Ive read posts on so many websites and they all make sense but are different in many ways and thought I should ask on here.

    Thanks!

    the most common way to judge size is by weight hatchling BPs should eat 10-15% of their body weight every 5-7 days

    I was told babies should eat every 4-5 days and adults every 7-10.. I also don't go crazy with weight,don't think it's necessary. Just feed your snake it's meal the size or slightly larger than the thickest part of your snakes body. I only have my first 2 snakes for a few months,things couldn't be smoother. That's what I do and it works for me,so far
