    Feeding Schedules

    So I have 4 BPs now, bought from 2 stores, and they are on different feeding schedules. Should i get them on the same schedule, or maintain what they had coming from the stores? I noticed the stores both feed their BPs/snakes at the same time.

    Whatever is easiest for you....a day here/day there missed isn't going to matter much, so you can delay feeding a day or two for whichever pair to get them all on the same day if you want.

    I'd just feed them all on the same day. Ball Pythons can go months without eating. A couple of days or a week won't hurt them.

    Re: Feeding Schedules

    Do what's easiest for you. If it requires one of them to have an extended wait to catch up with the other snakes schedule, then that's fine!

    I feed all of them every Monday, except anything under 500g that eats every 5 days.

    Re: Feeding Schedules

    Feeding all the snakes on the same day is definitely more convenient but since I enjoy feeding my snakes I don't mind different feeding schedules. I usually end up feeding 2-3 days a week which is fine for me. And if there are any refusals somebody is always hungry.

    I change all my snakes over to the same day for feeding, don't want to be feeding multiple days per week since the smell will get the rest into feeding mode and limit my handling options.
