feeding/breeding question

TimS Jun 26, 2007 10:57 AM

ok so i only feed my prego girl one itsy bitsy lil rat every random week but now that it is very close to her lay date(HOPEFULLY) do i stay on this random small schedual or just wait till she drops? cause with python very diff from boas as we all know lol there is like a one month time window from her POS to when she lays eggs that is very bad to feed durring. just wondering if anything like that with the rainbows or if i should just continue doin what i am doin.

Typically my prego girls will refuse almost all food. Sometimes they will take one or two small meals during gestation. I'd stop offering meals until after she drops her litter.

The last few days were my largest volume feeding days ever, 66 snakes all ate with only 13 not eating. Most of which are gravid girls
