Doesn't matter what the word is, i don't practice perfect grammar on sssnakess.com... Im not being graded on it, or at least thought i wasn't... The point is once a month for Colubrids is TOO long...

Re: To long ?
I feed my corn and bp every 7 days right now. Once my BP is up to 500grams I will switch to every 10-14 but that's it. I think you should be feeding them more often. If you feel they are fatties I would say smaller meals but feed them more than once a month. I don't know a ton so please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but IMO your not feeding often enough.

Re: To long ?
Yes.. I get the question.. but WHY are you having to feed once a month? Of course once a month is too long lol.

Re: To long ?
I fed my corns every week without fail and though I don't know if they were overweight they never missed a meal.
Also if you are having trouble getting rats and such from your pet store why not look for a place to buy from a local breeder in bulk? Often times it is much much cheaper and their sizes might be a little more reliable. I met my guy from an expo I went to. Bought several months worth of food all at once. Cheap, healthy, and nice.

IMO: If they only get rats in once a month... you can store frozen or take care of live. Thats no reason to not feed more often.
