    Question Feeding every 6 days . ok or not ?

    My bp is 8 month old and 3 feet long . He seems happy and in good health . I handle him almost daily except for 2 days a week when he is digesting ... So I wish he could grow and take weight a bit faster and want to feed him every 6 days instead of 7 . Would that be ok ? Im thinking it can only be good since he is still growing but im very new to all this and want to make sure I wont so anything bad .


    Thanks
    Sébastien

    You could feed him every 3 or 4 days if you really wanted to. I fed every 3 or 4 days if I'm trying to fatten them up.

    8 months and 3 feet? :hmm - weights would be easier to assess, but pics would help immensly. I don't see an issue with feeding at 6 days. I feed every 5 days for up to 800 grams. Which is usually about a year or so old. 3 feet seems very long for 8 month old ball python.

    Come on...you know how guys are about estimating the length of their snakes. It's probably a foot and a half at best...

    Any other pics? From different angles, of the whole snake, with something to reference size? Cheers
