I know this is a very basic question, but I could not find an answer to this in the forums:
How much AND how often to feed a 2.5 month old black rat snake?
I have heard many recommendations, some contradicting each other. One source says 2 pinkies once a week, another says feed every 4-6 days until satisfied, and a third says 2 pinkies a week is way too much.
Please help!!!  I don't want to overfeed or underfeed my new baby. Thanks!
P.S. I assume whatever answer I get that I can just increase the size of the feeders as it grows (to no more than 1.5 times the largest diameter of the snake)? Thanks again!
P.P.S. I am currently feeding 2 pinkies every 4-6 days, and she's eating with gusto except before a shed. She's eaten 3 times now since I purchased her at a show a little over two weeks ago.
