BRB is always HUNGRY!

[ThatGuyEd]

My little BRB is ALWAYS hungry...I feed about every 5 days, but she always looks like she can take some more....maybe a larger prey is needed, but man, talk about an appetite...:eek:

Just wondering if feeding them more than every 5 days would be a bad thing, if they have no noticeable lumps, and they are taking the prey?

Thanks!

Heh, sure, everybody LOOKS at the post, but nobody responds...:P

Another question to throw in here....My BRB is closer to a brown than an orange, I read somewhere that was a sign of an unhealthy snake, but she doesn't seem to have any problems.....lives in about 81 degrees with 95% humidity.....eats regularly...... Is it just my snake's coloring?

Answer 1/What signs is your snake exhibiting that you feel he is hungry? Are you feeding prey the same size as the largest part of your snakes girth? BRB's are known for being voracious feeders so its no surprise. It's unusual for them NOT to have a healthy appettite. If your snake is cruising constantly looking for food before the 5 day mark, then you may need to up the prey size. Also, you never mentioned how old your BRB is??

Answer 2/BRB's are extremely variable in colour. They range from crush orange to cherry red to mahogany to poo brown :D Even the brownest BRB can still be as healthy as the next ;)
