Feeding method

[millertime89]

The digestive track doesn't need "down time" to recover. I feed on their regular schedule regardless of whether they've pooped or not. Some species will only poop a few times per year because of how slow their metabolism is, you don't want them starving in the interim. This idea is just another commonly repeated myth that needs to die out already.

Agreed. I normally feed on a biweekly schedule, but I let them skip days every now and then. Snakes are not on a schedule in the wild. If I have some food someone else would not eat, I give it to another snake, even if it is not their time to eat, kinda like a snack.
