babies/yearlings - offer food every 5-7 days
1 year olds and up - offer food every 7-10 days

now i say offer food becuase if they dont eat they dont eat and get food offered the next scheduled day, if you have a snake who didnt eat and u keep tryin everyday this will stress him out, another thing is you should weigh your snakes i weigh my snakes before every food offering that way i can see if they are losing weight, if your snake isnt eating and losing weight then you have something to worry about


like someone previously mentioned check the enclosure make sure everything is where it needs to be, and i think i saw u said he/she was losin weight . . . how much weight in how much time?

Shes only lost 9g since December, her last vet visit was summer 08 so there are no parisites to worry about.
