Got my first BP on Friday August 29 and was told it had been fed on the previous Tuesday, Aug. 26. It's about 8 months old. Haven't weighed it yet.
Tried to feed it a rat pup on Tuesday Sept 2 but conditions were wrong - I took it from tank and put in a plastic bin, it was not interested and seemed a bit freaked out.
So next time, I waited until evening on Saturday Sept 13 (10 days since it last ate), fed it in the aquarium and it took it down okay (actually, ate the rat ass-first LOL it was quite an epic struggle). It looked around for a while like it could easily handle another but I wasn't prepared so that was all it ate.
So now it's 4 days later and the snake is looking around like maybe it's hungry. It's only eaten the one RP. Do BPs keep a day timer or a strict diet plan? Should I wait until Saturday or try to give it something tonight? I think I'd rather offer it something and have it refuse than leave the snake going hungry.
Thanks.
