    Quick Feeding question, not too serious I don't think.

    A few weeks ago, I went out of town and left my father in law in charge of our animals. He haaates snakes. So, All I had himdo was change the water. So they missed a week of feeding. Now I can only get them to eat, every 2 weeks. It's killing me.

    Humidity 50% All the time, 12 hour light cycles, temps on warm are 91-92, cold about 82. Everything is the same, food size, etc.. Prescenting, 30 minutes to an hour before.

    How can I get them back on a weekly schedule? Maybe feed smaller prey for a little bit?

    I feed all but one of my snakes every 10-14 days. That said, my snakes are all over 1000g

    Oh ok, so it doesn't seem to be much of an issue then eh? I mean, I know they'll grow slower that way, which doesn't matter to me.. I love them at any size.

    BUt it's only really bad if they lose weight.. no? Because I mean, they are still growing.
