When to change feeding

[VigdisXX]

I was just wondering, ive been feeding my 7-9 month old bp every 5 days, when should i switch to 7? I heard somewhere that they should be fed every 5 days till 1 year

This is going to be variable, but I believe most people use weight - not age.

I switched mine from 5 to 7 days at 500 grams, but my feeding schedule's not precise. Sometimes it's a day or two early, sometimes it's a day or two late. As long as it's not sooner than every 4 days or later than every 10, I don't sweat it.

I started off thinking the same way you are - that there was some magical time to change up their feedings and I would be able to tell when they were going to be hungry by looking at a watch or a calendar. Unfortunately, my snakes can't read watches or calendars so I had to pay attention them instead and learn their behaviors. When the little ones started refusing at the shorter intervals (4 days), I started offering them food at my standard interval (7 days).

Hope this helps!

Generally speaking, this tended to happen around the 500 gram mark. Take that with a grain of salt though because I've had them keep pounding away long past that size.

I always fed mine once a week.

I feed twice a week until they eat small rats, then it's once a week.

Me too. I feed mine once a week also.
