Hello fellow herpers....Long time since i have been on this board..very busy...anyways..not sure who remembers me or not..been about 3 months since I purchased my two young pyros from Ryan Hoyer..anyways they doing real good and im due for pics, but I do have a question on how often to feed. I was advised that Pyros should go alittle longer between feedings then other snakes.. I think i heard 10-14 days is the norm for young ones, compared to 7 days for other young snakes. Is this true? they have each been eating a large pinky every 11-14 days. they seen to be doing great.. they dont shed as often as my desert king or my corn.. if 10-14 days is too long, would there be any damage that i caused? once again, they both look good and plump.. they dont look skinny, and they seem to be growing ok..... oh, by the way, my desert king is eating like a king.. eating two small mice per week now...well every 7-10 days i feed her two small mice, and she is agressive eater now, so thanks for the help months ago....take care, thanks, Pete
