    Pretty much this. Depends on when I have time. Sometimes I squeeze in feeding in the morning before work. If its the weekend sometimes during the day. I also feed after work too. Time doesn't seem to have an effect on any of them.

    when do you feed?

    I have been feeding starting anywhere from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm, either pre-killed or frozen thawed. However, one of the BPs typically will not eat the rat until after I go to bed (10:00ish). The other one will either take it off the tongs or go for it about 15-30 minutes after I close the cage.

    Two normal male BPs, one super pastel female BP, and a hypo citrus trans bearded dragon. All BPs in a 5 tub Reptile Basics CB-70 rack. Beardie in a 20 gallon long tank.

    Nearly exclusively at night. They will eat during the day, but I'm always up late and that's when they'd normally be looking for food.

    I don't know if it bears mentioning or not, but I don't only have balls. I have boas and a gtp as well.

    I'm pretty sporadic about my feeding. I generally feed whenever I've got the time but I try to make it about once a week though it often gets stretched out to once every two weeks. My work schedule can be pretty variable so my feeding times can vary between 6:00am to 6:00pm to midnight to noon and every hour in between. It doesn't seem to matter much, at least with my snakes. They seem to be able to adjust to my odd hours and will generally eat any time I feed them.

    Whenever I get around to it

    I clean rats, pull out rodents to be fed off and depending how long it takes me to clean rats or what time I started it's only when I am finished that the snakes get fed.

    So pretty much any time during the day.
