    Do all BPs fast?

    4 weeks actually isn't bad and sounds like a regular interval to go without food for a snake, it's the strikes that last months that I dread. Good to hear that your BPs are good eaters



    I share the belief that many captive snakes are overfed, especially since they also probably don't get as much exercise as wild snakes. Your method of feeding sounds pretty good, I will likely adopt something similar when my BP is fully grown.
    I’m not sure it is husbandry as I had a pair of identical Albino Royals in identical adjacent viv setups ..

    One ate every 10 days without fail the other went 9 months without eating a thing ?!!

    Both eat everytime these days ..

    The one that fasted 9 months recently produced five stunning babies !!
