Frequency of Feeds

[anatess]

There is a Snakebytes episode on an experiment that Brian did on his cornsnakes. If I remember correctly, this is the experiment controls:

1.) Snake is fed small prey more often.
2.) Snake is fed small prey more often with added vitamins.
3.) Snake is fed appropriate sized prey every 5 days (regular baby feeding in BHB).

The results show that #1 is super tiny. #2 is slightly bigger. #3 is regular sized.

You have to go hunt down that video to get the real deal on the experiment (I can't remember what the title of it is... I think it had something to do with Satan on cleaning day).

In any case, the experiment shows that small prey more often doesn't do the snake any favors.
