? Feeding Schedule for a 8 month old Coastal Carpet

[pablo111]

How often should a coastal carpet thats about 8 months and twenty some odd inches be fed?

I can't find this information anywhere on the web. I talked to a breeder and have set my tank accordingly,

trying to keep humidity around 70-80%, temperature ranges from 78-93 in the hottest hot spot and 90 in the hot hide and 78 in the cool hide. Is that ok?

Thanks

General rule is an appropriate sized item every 5-7days. By appropriate I mean something the same size as the girth of the snake at it's fattest point, or 1.5X that size.

Temp gradient of 80-90 should be fine. I don't think your humidity needs to be that high constantly. 50-60%, and bump it up to 80 or so during sheds.

No offense, but this information is easy to find, if you take the time. You should have already known the answers to these kinda questions especially before purchasing an animal. Aren't you now trying to sell this snake??

No no- I was told at first that I couldn't keep it but after some discussion that problem's been averted :) I should take that ad down actually.

I was told to try to keep the humidity about 70-80% by the guy who bred the snake. He also told me to only have a narrow gradient, from 80-85F

I wasn't able to achieve that precisely with my setup though so I've approximated it as closely as possible.

I spoke with the breeder for about half an hour all together- I think he actually started to get kinda sick of me after awhile. I had his information and a couple of websites, I wanted to get information from a third source as well. I'm coming back into snakes with fish... so I'm still in the mindset where one guy's advice is gold and the next guy's advise is going to kill everything :)

Thanks for your help and no offense taken.
