A Size Question...or two...

[lordkovacs]

What would you all be feeding an 8 month old male? How much and how often? I'm not sure I'm feeding enough because he always eats whatever I give. I usually feed every 5 days 2 fuzzies...thanks a ton!!!

There is no set amount to feed in proportion to age. Size and age varies dramatically from snake to snake. What you're feeding is absolutely fine, no more is needed. Snakes usually stay in 'feeding mode' for about half an hour after their first item so most will accept multiple mice. My eight month Carolina is currently on two fuzzies every four days or two hoppers a week. This, however, is because she is a very fast grower and is well over two feet now. In fact, it should only be a couple of months before she's on medium sized mice or even fully-grown adults!! At the rate she's growing at the moment, she'll be three feet long in just over a year!! However, what you're feeding your snake at the moment is fine, actually, it's more than fine, it's perfect. Keep up the good work.:D .
