For hatchlings, I feed every 4-5 days depending on item size. I dont like to wait more than a week to feed them. For Juvies that I am planning on breeding, I feed every 5-7 days depending on size of snake. Full grown adults feed 10-14 days. I do agree with previous posts, 3 months is just a horrible way to starve and torture an animal. I mean cmon, 4 meals a year?
I have only had one animal fixated on mice and thats my burmese python. All my balls eat rats. What i did was feed it a mouse which was pretty small compared to her. When she had the mouse almost all the way in, I chain feed a mouse in. Both items are small and will not cause her to regurg. I did this twice and she has been taking rats for the last year.
