Re: is my snake still hungry?

Glad your BP is eating well Frank. Your snake will sometimes want more food but don't always give it to them . They will overeat if you let them. I offer my snakes smaller meals sometimes and larger meals at other times. I also mix up my feeding frequency. For baby snakes it's usually every 5-7 days. I'd probably feed a BP more like every 7 days. I agree with TRD. If your snake will eat f/t there's no need or benefit to feed live. Your snake will still grow, breed, and thrive on a f/t diet. And you can always get the exact size prey you need. I also agree with AL on the feeding regiment. My young snakes also get roughly 10-15%, sometimes a tad more/less, of their body weight per feeding. It usually averages out to 1-2 prey items about as wide as the snake's body.
