Is there a better time of day to feed a BP?
If using tongs, should the tong grasp the tail or back end of prey?

Feed at night I would say from 8PM and on. The only time I can get BP's to feed during the day is when I am working with hatchlings.
I hate feeding at night 40 snakes, because I am NOT a night person, but none of my yearlings and adults will eat during the day.

Man. Sorry to hear that. I guess I should consider myself lucky because even though BPs are crespusulsusalar or Nocturnal, I have been able to get my BP's to feed almost anytime of the day. Now this is that to say that there are not times when they refuse food, but I am jsut saying that it is not related to time of day in my case.
cheers.

It depends on the snake. Some BP only eat at night. My BPs eat at any time of the day.
I guess you just have to try what your snake likes best.
