    Sorry to hijack this thread but this statement caught me a little off guard and I want to make sure I'm doing the right thing with my BP.

    I've been using BP feeding charts which gives prey size and days in between feeding. The recommended range for a smaller BP (up to 600grams) is 5-7 days while larger BPs are 7 days. Since I consider my BP to be on the picky side, we've hit a nice little spurt where he's pounding Rats so I've been feeding him every 7-10 days because I know at some point he's going to refuse and go off feed. It seems like it's the only way for him to pack on some weight.
