In Reply to: How many days after "pooping" can you feed a rat snake? posted by Rob on December 02, 2001 at 18:24:15:
: pooping has nothing to do woth feeding schedule actually...they will eat one mouse....then defecate every other day for the next week....they are like "poo machines"...
you can feed a mouse a week.....a small hop every 4 days....or even a fuzzy/small fuzz every other day....
match the size to the snake...
there is a fine line between "pushing" and over feeding......
in the past I fed alot...a whole lot....and it kind of seamed to actually slow them down if you over feed too much....
I like the smaller meal,,more frequent aproach...
not sure of the size of your 'glades...just guessing....
but I think you can give them a small hopper every 3 days no trouble....keep an eye on them and see if they could go more or less without problems....(puking is a problem)...
you need to keep them warm too...
83 degrees would be fine for pushing....
