    Feeding questions.

    Okay. I read a post on someones feeding method and i want to know what people think about it. It said feed your snake 20% of his weight.

    My snake Mitch is 165g so i will need to feed him a mouse that is 33g.

    But my question is how often? Im thinking every 5/6 days.

    I fed him last on 10/7. When would be a good time to feed him again? I read every week when they are young.

    So I was thinking feeding him tomorrow, 6 days later. Any advice on the 20% feeding? Or feeding times in general?

    So far i haven't seen Mitch searching for food, ever since he ate he has been hiding under his cold hide alot, occasionally the hot hide. But i haven't seen him searching.
