feeding plan

amc0405 Aug 16, 2010 10:40 AM

Does anyone have a feeding plan somewhat like the munson plan that people use for cornsnakes. I just got a pine snake that weighs 1823 grams and am trying to figur out a gram amount and days I should feed him. Any sites or threads that anyone can direct me to would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have a pair of Northern Pines myself. They are a snake used to colder weather, therefore have a slower digestive system. With this in mind smaller meals are better. I have never weighed my meals for my snakes. I have several Bull Snakes, a couple of Gofers. Pines when young can be a little bit sensitive to over feeding. Make the meal no larger than the thickest part of the snakes body. Once a week should be just fine. If you want them to size up a little quicker make it once every 4 days but make sure it is a meal smaller than the snakes belly.
