So I had done much research online and books and even talk to professionals trying to figure out the mathetics of large pythons feeding regimine. So I think maybe ven anyone besides me has a forumla for feeding...perferably retics and burms I'd like to see it. I'd like to share mine with everyone feedback is appreciated and I'd love to see more.
Hatchlings until medium rats = (1/3) snakes body weight every 2 weeks.....example a 600 gram snake could consume a 100 gram rat a week....or maybe a 200 gram rat every 10 days.....
large rats and jumbo rats = 1/4 every 2 weeks...example maybe a 1600 snake would eat a 200 gram rat a week)of course all this doesnt have to be so sepecific)
* once they hit rabbits aroiund 1 year of age do 1/5 every week....2lb rabbit every 2 weeks for a 10 pound snake.....
\1.5 years old= 1/7 every 2 weeks and finally a 2 year old tic or burm done for growing most part 1/10 every 2 weeks should maiantain weight and promote growth.......
some side notes...al this is my schedule for my MALE retic. and here are my pet shops basic sizes
small rat(75 grams)
medium rat(150 grams)
large rats 200-300 grams)
jumbo rats ( 400-600 grams)
thanks to everyone who has read this and again love feedback and others schedules
thanks
