"Is feeding on a weekly schedule ok for this age? The striking wouldnt have anything to do with hunger would it?
Yes and No...Yes once a week is good. it's best for consistency to pick a day and time. We pick Saturday night. If they refuse, don't offer again until next Saturday night. Keep records of feeds and refuses on a note card. sheds and poops and weight too if you want. whether you mark it on a calendar or a note card you should keep track of meals for your sake and for the snake.
No, the striking isn't hunger. it's defense/fear. once they get on a consistent schedule, that should calm down. consistency is key...temps, humidity, bedding, feeding etc... Consistency=Happy BP's
