Re: Feeding frequency
Remind me of the age? Scrubs do best fed less frequently as they carry weight poorly. A lean, mean scrub is a healthy scrub. They are highly arboreal and consequently whilst they can grow very big they remain very slender. They are infrequent feeders in the wild.
My two are on a rat fluff every 10 days except when shedding. As adults they'll be spaced right out. All the scrub keepers I know feed the adults at the most every 4 weeks and at the last 4 or 5 times a year (but very large meals). Note one keeper that feeds his every couple of months at most has a male oksibil that's 15'+ so it does nothing to diminish their growth rate!
Whilst I agree with zig that whilst young food generally equals growth I also don't like to push them on too much. Every 14 days for 3yo scrub would be too much (personally I think it would be too much for all pythons but definitely scrubs - see my opening statement).
