    Re: How Often Does Everyone Feed?

    Every 5-7 days. Usually based on prey size. My snake is 550g right now. 5 Day feeding for 40-50g rats. 7 Day feeding for 60+g rats. As the snake gets bigger, so does the feeding scale. This method seems to be working great. Gained 190g in almost 40 days. He loves to eat right now.

    You must have me confused with someone else Mine is over 3 years old and over 4 feet long eating medium rats, works out to be about every 10 days...11 days depending on if there are 30 or 31 days in the month.

    Every two weeks, because my mom doesn't want him to eat too much and get too big.
    Dude, where did Bob go?

    Re: How Often Does Everyone Feed?

    Anything under 1,000 I offer 2-3 meals a week. 1,000+ I offer 2 times a week but some only take 1 per week.

    I breed all my own food so if they don't take it, back in the bin they go for a couple days. When I used to buy live or F/T, I wouldn't offer as much just because it pissed me off when they wouldn't eat it. Live rats and mice stink to keep around, and I never re-freeze a rodent so it would be thrown out. Thank god for ASF's

    Re: How Often Does Everyone Feed?

    So every 3 days for a hatchling is okay?? It won't be like power feeding?? Just curious as I'd probably start that for my hatchling.
