Introducing Dr. Coil

Thanks. Good question, which is somewhat difficult for me to answer since I've never owned another type of snake. From what I've gathered on this site, I get the impression that normal pet snake behavior is relatively inactive except when the animal gets hungry. My experience has been quite different. He is active at least 50 % of every day, a lot of days I'd say it's a higher percent than that. He will become inactive for maybe 24 hrs after eating.

I've had to sort of guess with feeding frequency. Since he is an active snake, I've settled on every 3 days. As of today he is 450 mm (about 18 in) and I feed him two large pinkies at every meal. I'll be trying to move up to fuzzies the next time I go to the store. Hope that helps. He's set up right by my desk at work and I watch him all the time, so if you have any other questions, I'll be happy to answer them.
