Day or night feeding
Do you feed your snake(s) during the day, at dusk, nighttime, whenever you get around to it? Is there any reason why you choose to do it that way? Do you think the feeding time varies by species, whether diurnal or nocturnal?

Re: Day or night feeding
I typically feed my snakes around 7-8pm but I have no real reason why.

Re: Day or night feeding
It depends on the species. Diurnal species get fed morning and mid afternoon. Nocturnal species get fed around 9pm.

So with the exception of BB, the majority census is "whenever." I feed on weekends, mixing it up between Saturday or Sunday (sometimes even Friday), usually around 7-8. Now with two of my MGB's and one new BRB having uwt to eat for me, I'm thinking of changing it up somehow. That's the reason I asked for your opinions.
Thanks for playing!

Re: Day or night feeding
I feed mainly at night, between 7-10 pm, though there have been times when i've fed my 7 month old Sand Boas during mid-late afternoon.

Re: Day or night feeding
We tend to feed about 7-8pm as its just after daughter goes to bed and leaves enough evening for us to relax too

Re: Day or night feeding
Usually about 11 pm once everyone's in bed and it's quiet.

Re: Day or night feeding
Evening/night time... My brb is a shy snake and I've noticed all my snakes seem more comfortable feeding at night.

Re: Day or night feeding
Any time after about 5pm the later the faster they seem to eat. I have two that will not eat before 8pm. I can put it in but they won't touch it until it starts getting dark and i am not in the room.

Re: Day or night feeding
Anytime after 7pm for me, which is when I'm usually done with classes and/or coursework.

Re: Day or night feeding
I've fed my balls at 10 am and I've fed them at 10 pm and likely every time in between. They could care less when they eat.

Re: Day or night feeding
Yeah I feed when ever works for me... seems to work for them just fine too. Generally its just before I go to bed though, so 4-6 I guess.

Re: Day or night feeding
I feed mine when I get around to it, usually in the evening because everyone else is asleep and I can have some peace.
Last night I fed a bunch of garters at 3:00am, and they all ate just fine.
