I have one. I have no sympathy for any of y'all.

When you have four snakes, but three are in shed and one just ate yesterday....

I can feel your pain, I got 4 outta five with a full belly. But I’m not complaining. Lol

Sadly that's a normal Monday for me. I feed on Sunday and leave them alone for a day or two before I play with them again.

I try and Do the same exact thing and stagger my feeding so that I always have one or two available for handling. However sometimes the days just line up with my schedule being whatever it is I just want to get them fed if I am not going to be around for some reason. Sushi being on an every other week schedule gives me some flexibility because he has a longer window for handling

I actually split feeding days up throughout the week, just so I have flexibility with handling. Typically I feed two at a time, then a few days later the other two. Sometimes sheds and refusals will change things, but I try to follow that routine.

I feed on the same day for everyone. It makes it easy to remember and once Behira or Figment smell food, they are done anyone. NO way I am going to try to handle Behira with rat smell in the room!

The two exceptions are when Behira is bigger, she will eat less frequently than the others, so I will have to skip her on some feeding days. We will both have to adjust. Additionally, Solana, once settled in, will eat every 4-5 days for a while, so I'll have to keep track of her separately, until she's on a once a week and eventually every two week schedule.

Otherwise, I like to keep it simple. Besides, the adults eat every two weeks, so I only have to "go without" them for 2-3 days out of every 14. It's all good. Happy and healthy over play time.

Well, today's a new day. Tyson shed last night and Cosmo has had over 48 hours to digest...now if only I didn't have to do this "go to work" thing...

The things we do to pay for our passions.

Thursday is feeding day so Friday is leave everyone alone day. Rainbow's feeding mode duration is lessening as time goes on. I think she is finally getting to the point where she is not always hungry. I am working on her epic cage build and have put off moving for a while (Hurricane Harvey killed the housing market here). Will take me a couple of months to get it done. I think she needs more exercise and room to explore. The only thing that worries me is that she might go feral on me thinking she is free. LOL.

I pretty much do the same as dakski said...I feed all on the same day. There's a few exceptions sometimes...like the ones who go off-feed in winter & need
more food to catch up (that's my rosy boa & western longnose); or after my female Florida rat snakes lay their slugs every year about this time, they'll be
eating machines & need more food. But otherwise, I feed all at once & it wouldn't be fun to handle the ones I didn't give food to, just saying... They know!

when u can't play snakes, play hockey!

(or play pokemon )

I have 8 snakes and have found myself in a similar situation a few times. Several in shed and a few that have just eaten. There's usually one or two that are available for handling though.
