My cuz let me watch ovr his Blood while he is in florida and I am not sure exactly what to do because i cannot get in contact with him. It is a female about 3 years old at 5 foot. HOw often and what do I feed her. I will have her for about a month. Also just out of curiousity how much should baby and jueveniles be fed. When should they be cut back. I am getting very interested in these snakes

1-2 large rats per feeding every 2-3 weeks. Juveniles will eat every 1-2 weeks their first 2 yrs with increasing sized prey. They are very efficient so going less than that will still allow them enough to grow just at a slower pace. Females and males will take in differing amounts of food also due to size and breeding activity. Mine do not eat all year and are typically fasted for about 3 months on average.
