When they were real young, I fed them 2 pinks every 2 to 4 days. As you may already know, their metabolism is just insane, and is basically unmatched by most any other colubrids.



Now that they are yearlings, I feed them a couple nice hoppers every 5 to 7 days, although they would LOVE to eat more.



The pic of her on the garage floor is not from me placing her there, that is where she came to rest after launching out of her enclosure to chase me down for a meal, these guys, and the brooks as well are simply true eating machines..LOL!



Speaking about feeding, I have to go do that right now as a matter of fact,...they are certain to be in "attack-mode" right now in anticipation of a meal. I find that many getula slap their tales around uncontrolably in their excitement to feed..LOL!



take care buddy!, ~Doug
