    How often do you offer food?

    Hello everyone.

    I have read in a few breeders blogs and a few different posts on forums that most of the snakes that have the longest for them, are the ones that feed about once every 2-3 weeks. I was feeding my adult male once a week, and he was putting on weight very fast. I thought that if I kept that up the he would reach an unhealthy weight. Like all things, eating too much will lead to negative health effects. So, I was just wondering what the average ball python keeper does.

    I was thinking of maybe offering food somewhere around the 2 week mark from now on. Opinions?
