ok, I know Ball Pythons are not always good eaters, but...

how can we keep the feeder cost low? I've been throwing out quite a few rodents.. I try to feed once a week, and try to get them to eat around 100g to 150g of rats per meal (opting for two smaller rats that are in the 50g to 90g range when possible)... the weight of my snakes range between 900g to 1600g...

I have found so far, that they normally won't eat more than 100 to 120g per meal, but will not necessarily eat once a week (at least this is the pattern so far)...

Sooo.. I was thinking of taking food out for half of my snakes once a week, and if some of that half doesn't eat, I can offer it to the other animals that were not scheduled to eat until the following week. That way, I could possibly end up throwing away less rats?

Just wondering how the big guys do it.. probably have enough snakes that if one doesn't eat it, just feed it to another one??

Thanks,
Bristen.
