hey im new to owning snakes and iv had mine for about 2 months..estimation is it's 4-5 months old. so this is a dumb question but right now it's eating pinkies when should i start giving it fuzzies? and iv also heard that i should be feeding it every 5 days and at the moment im only feeding once every seven. any advice would be greatly appreciated :p thanks
 
i would be feeding every 5 days and at 5 months it should be able to take fuzzys without any problems. 7 day feeding schedule for a baby is a long time between meals. rule of thumb for feeding is 1 1/2 times the thickness of the thickest part of the snake. most important feed more often but dont go overboard. like i said 5 days is usually good between feedings. if its possible please post some pics, there are many people here that can tell you if its under weight for its age.
