Question How often are you feeding?

I was just wonder what types of feeding scheduals other people are keeping their young BRBs on?
Thanks,
Trevor

For neonates I feed ONE appropriately sized prey item every 5 days. Juvenilles get fed every 6 days. Yearlings and up get fed every 7 days.

I feed them when they tell me to feed them. Your snakes give you clues everyday. You just have to look for them and recognize what they are.

Our juvenile eats every 5-6 days and our new adult is eating every 7 days or so until he puts on a bit more weight, then we'll be upping him to every 10 days or so.

Mine all seem to have done best since I have gotten them on a every 7 day feeding schedule. It can be easy to over feed them too. They are pretty agressive eaters.
