    Re: Night vs Day Feeding

    I've never fed at night. Okay, evenings sometimes but usually middle of the afternoon. I sortof feed whenever I find it convenient on feeding day.

    Re: Night vs Day Feeding

    Funny mine although rarely refuses seems to prefer after dark but the room light needs to be on. If I turn the light off too soon he'll drop it and stick his head on top when I check on him and turn the light on again he will re-strike and constrict and feed. So in my case after dark but not in the dark. Silly thing!

    Re: Night vs Day Feeding

    i have females and males that will eat when ever food is offered. They love those f\t\sm rats. My female albino on the other hand i have to feed at around 10 at night when she comes out of her hide and starts moving around. Then she nails the f\t\small rat no problem. I also have females and males that have such great feeding response if there still in there hide as soon as the lid is taken off the tub there are already out read to strike. They are putting some real nice weight on them. Going to breed my own rats this year for the snakes. Bare with some of my sentences that dont make sense at first since i add ramdom things to them. Little slow head as well as speaking Portuguese messes with me hahah

    lol ive had a few snakes like that. In the dark they will constrict it and leave it. so then i have to turn the light on pull the tub back out and do the rat dance with the tongs and they strike again and finally take the meal down.
