    every monday around 4 or 5. it doesnt matter if you feed them in the night or day. if they want/need food they'll eat it no matter what time it is.

    once a week. If I'm patient I'll wait until he wakes up which is later like 9 or 10. Otherwise, I'll do it more like 6pm but a couple of times I've fed at noon. If I want to feed and he's asleep I'll handle him for a while first until he becomes active and alert.

    I feed late at night... mostly because that's when I've got lots of time to do it at my own pace. Plus the snakes are more active and I think I actually get rid of more rats that way.

    I feed on Sundays around 11am. First I clean all the tubs, that gets all the snakes up and active. Then I feed.
