Any advice???

Evening is best as BP's are nocturnal, but anytime is usually ok. If you have trouble getting your BP to eat try feeding later and in the dark.

I live only 20 minutes from NERD, and i have been their on multiple occasions. I will most likely be getting my males from there. Hope to be picking up a Fire and a Spider soon.

When it comes to feeding i completely agree with serpent merchant on this one. When i first got my snake i weighed her in and fed her 10% of her body weight every 5 days. Once she hit 500 grams however i started feeding her every 7 days and 15% of her body weight. Since she outgrew the scale i had in a matter of two months i have not gotten a weight on her recently. But grew comfortable with the food size i felt appropriate for her. (Went with the old girth trick) Hopefully my scale will be in tomorrow as the tracking says and i can get an official weight on her. From there, as i mentioned above, i will continue to feed her 15% of her body weight.

Also i feed my snake F/T (Frozen Thawed) rats, so i buy from another local breeder that sells them relatively cheap)

P.s. there is a reptile show in Manchester this Sunday that you should check out.

They will have them for sale at the expo. I would stock up there to avoid shipping costs!

Thank you, how many frozen mice do you recommend that I buy?
