Hi.I have a 13 gram Kingsnake. I use the Munson's feeding chart, and he is fed a 3 gram pinky every 4 days. Is this more than enough food? Thanks.

That's a pretty decent sized meal for him. If you're going to feed him that large of a meal I'd say feed him every 6-7 days. Every 4 days is a little much IMO and I feed my snakes pretty liberally.

Agreed. A lot of people have a tendency to over feed captive snakes.

Once a week for that boy please. Fat snakes are not healthy snakes!!!

Thank you! I have moved his feeding day to Friday.
