Re: Welllllllllllllll it's not an MBK.............

And all of that, while probably true, is different for individual snakes. Colubrids naturally have a higher metabolism, so require more regular feeding, where as a large boa or burmese can, and should go longer. That's why some snakes like indigos and cribos require ALOT more food, more often, than ither colubrids. They are in the family, but need, and thus produce more.

There is nothing really 'wrong' with maintenance feeding at any age really. That's the great thing about reptiles. Even a meal knce a monthwont starve most snakes. (But it will others).

So, feed weekly, or bi-weekly as you choose. Though I will believe that most will encourage you to feed weekly. =)
