food size guides

[Hutchie91]

sorry if there is already a post up about this, but i notice that some people are unsure on feeding areas, the size of the food they are feeding their snakes and when.

could someone with experience of having a snake from baby to adult, post up what stages they fed
- pinkies (size/age/time between feeds)
- fuzzies (size/age/time between feeds)
and so on, it would help me soon too as at the moment im only on fuzzies with my corn, and wouldnt mind knowing what stage is next, and when

any advice posted will be much appreciated and im sure that wont be from just me :p

The best way to know what size feeder to go to is to weigh her. Do you know how much she weighs? how long is she?

P.S. She/her is my universal term.

I Just took this from another thread.. Its the munson feeding plan.. really good to go buy.

-When they're on single pinks (2-3g), I feed every 4-5 days. (Snake = 4-15g)
-Double pinks (3g x 2) every 4-5 days. (Snake = 16-23g)
-Small fuzzies (5-7g) every 5-6 days. (Snake = 24-30g)
-Regular fuzzies (7-9g) every 5-6 days (Snake = 30-50g)
-Hoppers (9-12g) every 5-6 days (Snake = 51-90g)
-Weaned (14-20g) every 7 days (Snake = 91-170g)
-Adult (24-30g) every 7-x days (Snake = 170+)
-Jumbo Adults (40-50g) every 7-x days (Snake = 400g+)

Note: Adult females are fed more frequently than adult males (especially following brumation). Females are fed every 6-8 days; males are fed every 7-14 days

@ TheJadeReptile, dont worry shes a female ;) - she weighs approx 42 grams (fed since) and shes just under 2foot

[Jdog3131]
