how often and how much do you feed that snake? I got a buddy that has an 8' albino that he does not want anymore and he said he would give it to me. i just want to know if i can handle feeding it along with my other snakes.

I have good access to cheap guinea pigs...i'd just feed him rabbits but he will only eat them if i feed him a guinea pig first...so i just stick with the gp's.
