How Frequently Do You Feed Your BPs?

Well, how do we know how often they eat in the wild? Does somebody chill out for a couple of weeks and follows one BP to see it's feeding habits? Or are we just guessing they should eat once a week?

I feed live because.. well, there are no F/T rats in the wild.

i completely agree with that. i do enjoy watching my snake eat i guess.... it's intense... but i watch mainly for making sure that the snake doesn't get bit... i don't know what i would do if it did but... i just watch to make sure everything is a okay. i rescued my ball not too long ago and i just want it to have a natural comfortable life.

feeding live is just a personal preference... more like nature than frozen i guess?

maybe some part of me thinks that hunting the snake hunting the mouse/rat while it's alive entertains some sort of snakely adrenaline rush, and my snake gets to feel like a bad ass as he waits for the rodent to stop breathing... yikes i don't know haha maybe i thought about it too much i love my snake i want him to be healthy and happy, and feeding live thus far has done fine for me.

i say once every 7 days is what most ppl do, so for now thats the schedule i'm in and he seems happy about it
