    Re: Feeding schedules

    Its very easy to get caught up in how much and how often you need to feed your snake and everybody has their own opinions on what is the right way. My opinion is that there is no 'Right Way' as many schedules work fine. The key is simply to ensure that your snake is maintaining a healthy body weight.

    I generally feed a male every 10-14 days with meals being on the smaller size.
    I feed females every 7 days or so and larger meals, especially if they have laid the previous season to get their weight back up.

    I dont follow any schedule and feeds will fluctualte slightly.
    Remember, in the wild these snakes will eat when the opportunity arises and they wont be given the exact same meal size everytime so this isn't critical in captivity either.

    As long as your snake is maintaining a healthy weight and doing what they should, I wouldn't change something that works.
    Hope this helps put your mind at ease.
