Two Questions

[DMB]

#1) How many juvie rats do YOU feel is a meal for a BP?
#2) Are full spectrum Fluorescent bulbs beneficial to the well-being of a BP?

Thanks.

i heard that since bp's are nocturnal they dont need any special lighting. i think the lighitng just tells them if its day or night. cause bp's in the wild spend their days in rat holes.

#1) Depends on how big your BP is. I normally feed mine one critter slightly bigger than the biggest part of the snake, every 5-7 days for juvies, every 10-14 days for adults.

#2) No. They have no need of full spectrum lighting. They are nocturnal animals.

2) No.
