Re: Just rescued this guy from an idiot friend of mine.
Well since he hasn't been fed in a while when ever he hears something around his tub he's looking for what's coming in.. poor guy. I've fed him a mice a day for 4 days straight this past weekend fed him a rat pup. Just waiting for him to poop. So that I can feed him again.
You gotta start dropping those feedings off. That is power feeding levels. Which can be detrimental eventually. Maybe every 4 days, an appropriately sized feeder. And you don't gotta wait for him to poop to feed They'll do it when they're ready. Some go like once a month.

You don't need to feed him daily, but you don't need to wait for him to poop to feed him either.
Pick a schedule. Every 5 days or every 7 days, and just feed him on that schedule. You feed him consistently, he'll gain weight and get healthy.
It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
It is okay to feed live food to snakes.

It's just that since he hasn't been fed in over 3 months. He told me he was throwing up what he was eating so I gave him 1 small mice he kept it down. Didn't wanna over do it. But now just feeding him every Saturday.

For future reference, like with a starving person, too much too fast can kill them. Just be careful mate
