Do you feed at night or in the daytime

[Laooda]

I'm feeding right now

Ditto!
Someone correct me if I'm wrong:
Because they're nocturnal BP's wonder out of their burrows after dark to eat, drink, check their E-mail, play the lotto... Whut?

Really... I feed at night because that's when they are "naturally" active.

Agreed but if you pre-scent wouldn't that wake them up anyways. I don't think that in the wild they only eat when a rat or mouse crosses by them at night. Plus if you keep them in a rack they aren't getting much light in from outside so I don't know how that would make much of a difference.

I feed at night too... so that is why my email program is open, & I find my money missing in my purse. Ohh I may have to leave my webcam on & see if George is the culprit!! ha ha

Pre-scenting is very effective... I've fed in the day time with no problems, I'm not implying that one works better than the other, I just choose to feed at night.
As for the light, to the best of my knowledge they spend the daylight hours in borrows, etc... coming out after dark to feed. I believe they "know" when it's dark... like they "know" the seasons are changing...
Maybe someone else will chime with more info?

I feed at night - Saturday night during Reptile Radio to be exact.

I feed most of my collection on Tuesdays around 6-7p.m. Everyone eats at that time, but since I have two on every 5 day schedules, they don't all eat on the same evening.

I selected day, but I meant Night. Every 5 days for now, until he gets a little bigger.

i feed at night but only because i go into work at 4am and get home at 4pm.... so after shower and dinner for me then its dinner time for mitch, around 7ish. but i have fed in the day time and even morning and had just as strong a feeding responce as at night. and yes pre scenting is crucial imo.

My snakes will eat anytime but at night they are waiting for food and take them right off the hemostats. In the daytime it is best to prescent the room. If I just set a f/t rat on a hide and leave it, sometimes they get cold before the snake wakes up and smells it.
