Spaz is 95g and he did finally eat last night. He was born Nov 2013 per records
Dinker is 150-160g Born Oct 2013 per records
Sheeba is 150-160g Born Oct 2013 per records
Pagani is 169g Born Oct 2013
I will be getting a scale very soon, but i wanted to get some opinions. All but spaz are very docile and very intrigued by their surroundings. Once the kids go to bed spaz is a lot better about wondering around but he gets scared very quickly.
Should I start feeding them more often? Maybe every 5-7 days? Try to get some weight on them? I am hoping to breed them but at this rate it will be 3 years. They in theory should be ready this fall or next spring. Right now it seems i'm on track for the 2016 season.
What are you feeding them, and how often? I've always read that they should be fed every 5-7 days when they're young. And I try to follow the 10-15% of the snake's body weight per feeding until they are about 500 grams (much easier if you have a scale).
