I adopted a BP about a month ago. He was being fed once a month. He is supposedly 20 yrs. old, but I just saw a bp yesterday that was 3 yrs old and twice the weight/girth of mine.

Anyhow, I have been feeding him 1 med. rat every 5-7 days since I got him. So four feedings now. I fed him yesterday at 6:30 p.m. and at 10:30 p.m. my daughter was standing in front of his cage, and he struck the side 3-4 times because he was still in hunting mode. That was 4 hours later!!

Last week was the same way, I was doing something else by his cage and he struck at me (must hurt hitting glass), it was so long after his feeding I didn't think that was it and thought maybe he was too hot or something.

I don't have a scale to tell you how much he weighs. But here are some pictures.
