    Feeding early

    On Christmas Eve my parents are having a huge party with family and friends at our house. I want to be able to show people my snakes who have not see it. But this Tuesday is my corn snakes weekly feeding day and Sunday is my BPs feeding day. I want to feed both of them on Saturday so that there would be no problems during the party. Would this mess up their schedule? Because the week after I plan on putting them back on their normal schedule. Would this be fine to do our should I just keep them on their regular schedule?

    I'm pretty sure you'd be fine with doing it that way.

    With my school, work, and family schedule I haven't always been able to feed on the same day, especially with the girl that only eats live. Feed them early, or feed them late, they'll be just fine. Every 4/5 days after feeding I've got snakes popping their heads out and giving me the puppy dog eyes for food.

    I would feed the BP a day early and the corn a day late, as long as the corn doesn't get nippy when hungry.
