This probally a repeat question, but I couldn't find it in the archives. I have a med ornate nile that I raised as a captive born baby pretty much out of the egg. When it was young it ate every day and the growth rate was incredible. Now its about 3 ft head to anus and almost double the tail size. Anyways the eating pattern seems to vary. Could be every other day or every 2 days or 3 days. It seems to be random in feeding days.

My question is a med/large nile eats about every how many days if each meal is large and filling?. He resides in South Florida where the temp is around 80 during the day and drops to about 70 at night during this time of year. He lives outside in a giant pen. 12 x 4 x 4.

Thanks
