My Kenyan Regurged last night

[Mangiapane85]

Small Kenyans can be fed every 7 days, 4 days constitutes as power feeding. It's also good practice to give meals that are as big around, or only slightly wider, than the sand boa. Since you had a regurge, I'd wait 14 days before feeding. Their stomach acid is a pH level of ~2, which is melt your flesh off acidic, so it does some damage to their insides as you can imagine. If you feed too soon, you can risk another regurge event.

How big are your pythons? 4 days is a bit much for any species unless you have a juvenile Hognose or Pituophis species. I have a month and a half old BP who is thriving on a 7 day schedule.

I'm aware of the dangers of regurge. I will let him recuperate and then go back to pinkies. His body size is adequate for what I feed him, especially considering I don't go by the misleading "guesstimate" tactic that you recommend. I weigh the snake and I weigh the food and I feed no more than 22% of the snakes body weight. I guess this one was a bit much because he hasn't completely voided his previous meal.

My biggest BP is right at 210g now. They are all within a month and half of each other, 2016 hatchlings. I view every 7 days for feeding as more of a maintenance schedule or slow grow schedule. There are lots of people that feed every 4-5 days and I will continue to do so until they are to a year of age, then I most likely will go to once a week. I am trying to get them growing quickly, but they defecate completely before each meal so they are ok.
