A lot of people tell me "when they're young, feed every week, or you're underfeeding." So I get used to "healthy" looking snakes. Then I see snakes on nature shows, and they're what everyone considers "thin." I figure that what they look like in nature is what they're SUPPOSED to look like.



Anyway, that's my rant. If you want them to be bigger, every week when they're young, every two weeks when adults. If you don't NEED them to reach 5', then every two weeks when young, 3 when adults (my feeding schedule). But don't power-feed. It can cause long-term damage.
