New Addition - Pics

Had my rack for about a week, got all the conditions right, and got the snake I've been planning to put inside. Is he on the skinny side? His previous owner fed him every 10 days. He's only 8 months old

He's very handsome! Looks healthy, but at that age he should be eating every week.

Yeah I'm gonna start him on a weekly feeding schedule. He seems a little lean for his length.

Nah, a lean snake is a health snake. I'd keep the 10 day schedule if I were you.

Nice Albino! He looks nice and healthy, and every 7-10 days is a pretty good schedule for feeding him. It would only be a concern if he was underweight or still pretty young, which you would then feed every 5-7 days.

Every 7 days is what my snakes schedule is like and they are growing like weeds.

He doesn't look too skinny to me....if anything I think most of them look obese a bit. Then again, I am not a BP guy at all.

Me neither I've only got one and I fed it around every 12-14 days (were big meals) as an adult and my snake is lean but not skinny.
