need feeding advice PLEASE!
Hi,
Jack FINALLY started eating this past week, and I'm just not sure how much to feed him. Every time I drop fish in he eats, but it's been several days. I made notes for when I fed him, and here's how it's been this week... -Monday ate 2 fish, 1 large & 1 small -Tuesday ate 1 fish -Wednesday ate 2 fish -Thursday ate 1 fish -Saturday ate 3 fish, 1 large & 2 very small So basically he's eaten 9 fish since Monday, and it's now Sunday morning. When should I offer him food again?? And what type of schedule would you recommend?? Thank you so much!! ~Carolyn~ |

Re: need feeding advice PLEASE!
how big is jack? Also ill have to check with others on this, but i think snakes eating habits are to have one big meal and then wait around a week until another feeding. But i think its okay in the begginning just to get him started eating

At his size, I would feed twice per week four or five fish or a couple of small pinkies at each feeding.
