Feeding every 7 days and skipping feedings is hardly fasting. How often do you think hognose eat in the wild? I can tell you from experience, it really is not that often. It is always better to have a snake that is a bit on the skinny side as compared to a fat snake. And besides, in captivity snakes do not have to look for their food. This allows them to become obese much more easily. I always fed my adult hogs every 10 days or so usually.

And the sign says "No long hair freaky people need not apply." So I put my hair under my hat and I went in to ask him why. He said you look like a fine outstanding young man I think you'll do. So I took off my hat I said "Imagine that Huh Me working for you."-Tesla
