How often do you guys feed your BRBs?

[lougotzz]

I'm talking for babies. I'm thinking one appropriate size rat every five days. Would two baby rats be too much for every five days?

I always fed my snake every 7 to 10 days ( depending on there size) I think 1 every 7 days is fine, about 125% of the biggest part of the body is fine

I would think 2 baby rats a week would be too much... (If I'm wrong, more experienced people, call me out). BRB's are spose to be slender snakes, and they can eat A LOT but you have to watch for obesity. I feed mine once every week hopper mice and he's almost 3ft long, but not a year old yet... (I may get bigger food here soon )

I would say one rat a week would be good

For a baby Brazilian, I would recomend one feeding per week, one prey item per feeding. If rats, use pinkies; if mice, use hoppers. As they age, you will want to cut back on feeding -- these are slender snakes. My juveniles get fed every other week, and my adults every third. Good luck!

1 rp every five days would be fine. I feed mine every five and a lot of breeders do also. When they get older you wanna drop down to 7-10 days. I agree about obesity. I have also been told the color gets ugly if you feed to fast. But this is something I heard and I have no proof whether its true or false. Power feeding and growing too quickly isn't good for anything. I also agree that this species is on the slender side and to make sure you stay there. If you make the tank enriching it will keep them more active, keeping them in better shape. I give mine hides and plants even in racks.

Good luck! one of my favorites
