New BCA (south Brazilian) Male

You could double check with Tom as well. E-mail him or call him. Usually the breeder's schedule is the best. That is if the breeder is decent, and Tom is.

One thing I will say about jumping to 10 days is this. A lot of breeders think about keeping their males and will feed them to keep them smaller for breeding. This is normal as they don't want giant males intimidating newer female snakes come breeding time. I never planned on keeping my boa small for breeding so I asked the breeder if every 10 days was OK. I did stay with the current size rats they were using at the time.

Gus Rentfro's feeding program is one of my favorites. He basically follows seasonal changes, daylight, temps, and feeds accordingly. In the winter feeding slows way down. In the summer it goes up. If your snake eats, eliminates all signs of the previous meal and starts actively hunting, it's probably time.

If in doubt, wait a day or 2. I'm coming up on another 20 days between meals. I'm also seeing some changes to the snake's behavior as the daylight hours increase. Eventually I'll bump the temps again, and I'll be feeding every 10 unless he has not eliminated.

You'll soon find a routine and the actions of your snake will be a good guide.

Now,,,,, after saying all of that,,, Kali and Doolittle have great advice so that's that LOL!
