snakes eat whenever they can so when offered food they will take it? Tell that to my ball pythons!

I feed my w.hognose once a week (every 5-7 days).

While feeding them that often may not be natural. I feel it is best for him.

In the wild they eat randomly. But is that really best for them? Obviously they are still reproducing and such. But just because they eat only once or twice in 2 or 3 wks doesn't mean that it is ideal.

And personally, I try to keep my snakes weight inbtween skinny and fat, if it's to skinny or to fat they probably get sick easier (just an opinion)
