I have a three day rotation. I feed some snakes on Monday, some one Wednesday and some I feed every 5 days so sometimes I feed thoes snakes on Monday and on Wednesday. In the summer when I have neonates to feed I usually add a 4 days to the rotation.
Cheers,
Trevor

I feed on one of the most irregular secduals ,I just keep a chart and glance at it every time I'm in the snakes room, and based on the species, age and date they last ate I feed accordingly.

I feed when I feel it's needed or when I have time. It's usually about twice a week and I only thaw for the snakes I plan to feed that night (that way leftovers are easy to disperse). I don't feed on any regular schedule but most get fed as often as I intend to feed them. For some that is twice a week, once a week, twice a month... it varies by species, age and individual snake... and THAT varies by the time of year.
I hope that helps!

I don't have a huge collection of snakes (20) but I usally have rodents out everyday, all of them need to be fed every so often.

I lost my feeding cards back in the summer and just never bothered to replace them. I much prefer it that way, as it more simulates nature's sporadic provisions. Combined with my terrible memory Some snakes get fed more than others, but there really isn't any pattern to it at all. Some weeks I will feed as many as three different days, some weeks I won't feed at all. It also is influenced by food availability as well

MICHEAL:
I feed either in a 2 - 4 part schedule. This means either I separate the feeding in 2 days or 4 a week. Usually start with pythons and then boas. Aside from shedding schedule this system works out fine. I record everything on paper fast and then when I am on the computer I record everything to an Excel Spreadsheet. Once a week I update things and make sure all is fine.

I keep most of my young ones on a pretty regular five-day schedule, but not the adults. Depending on how well they've been eating, prey size, etc, but it is never less than five or more than ten days between offering food prey, unless it is intentional (i.e., making a real porker skip a meal or two).
