Re: Feeding rates.

They are all individual and have individual appetites. I have one radix that would eat everything before her cage-mates could get a look in, she grew way faster than her siblings. I tried cutting down her food intake but she just dialled the pizza delivery guy. She is now on hunger strike, and hasn't eaten in six weeks, but I'm not worried in the least.

Re: Feeding rates.

We all see our snakes on a daily basis.... and we all post regular pics. We'll soon see if they're getting fat!

Of course I insist on itemized billing, so I can see who they're calling up. You can't trust them not to call the premium rate numbers.

Re: Feeding rates.

Should the amount and frequency of food be increased if the snake is pregnant? Any guidelines here?
