Do you have strict "feeding days"?
I don't. I basically feed roughly once a week, but I do not adhere strictly to any set thing like "every Friday" etc. My bigger snakes eat less often, about once every ten days or so.. my smaller "growers" get fed roughly once a week, but let's say my rats are not up to size, I will give them a few days to grow a bit bigger (yes, ratlings can grow a lot in a few days!) Especially with 4 of my snakes actively breeding, a set schedule does not work, but they are all fat and happy (not overfed though..) So how about you?

Re: Do you have strict "feeding days"?
I try and feed whenever they look hungry. If they are out prowling, I'll try and feed. This is of course easier when you only have a few snakes

Too many boas to list and a few balls as well

Re: Do you have strict "feeding days"?
I usually feed on the weekend, but that has varied more often in the last couple months.
Feeding day is usually saturday or sunday.
Lately it's been the night after I seperate the pastelxnormal pair. That way the get a night off to rest alone and offered food the next night.

Re: Do you have strict "feeding days"?
i used to have every body on the same schedule, but then i started giving the boa bigger food, and he only needs food once every 10 days, and then one of them refused...so everything got messed up. basically, i keep a chart on a calendar, and when i see they need food, i'll feed them.
