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.
with 43 snakes no wonder why my room is always messy,no food in the fridge, im broke all the time, and the truck is always out of gas.heh actually i think they leave rodent burrows at night to move to another burrow to wait for the next meal.

good point here!


i feed both some snakes wont eat durring the day, while some eat all the time, and some just plain try to eat you! as for how many days i wouldnt feed more than every 3 days. that gives time for digestion and prevents regergutation due to food going bad in stomach before it can be digested all the way.

i have some that will only eat once a week and some that just seem to want to eat all day long(which i dont allow) if it means anything my het Lavander albino female hatched 7-21-07(50 grams then) is 550 grams now and she trys to eat me at times
