i like to feed at dusk or after dark, the time of day when they are naturally awake.

how do u plan to feed BTW? are u feeding live, fresh killed or frozen-thawed prey? if feeding frozen-thawed, make sure the rodent is fully thawed. there's a couple method used to heat them up - hot water, hair dryer, heat lamp, etc. heat up in the same room with your BP to scent the air and get your BP ready for dinner.

good luck.
