ge it regularly, and clean the snake bowl. This is to prevent the buildup of bacteria in the water which is bad for the snake’s health.
Reticulated Python Feeding Schedule
In Reticulated Python feeding, you need to be disciplined with the schedule. And, it can be adjusted to the size of the snake, because each snake has a different size. For example, for younger babies, you can feed them more frequently. As for adult snakes, you can feed less frequently. Adult snakes are more resistant to hunger than babies or immature.
Or, you can apply a feeding pattern by paying attention to their defecation schedule. Every 3-5 days after the snake has defecated, you can feed them again.
Or more easily, you make a regular feeding schedule, for example once every week, every two weeks, or once a month. Depends on the snake size, and feed size.
Once you know their feeding schedule, make it a habit. Of course by paying attention to their size growth.
You can feed them in the afternoon or evening.
Be careful, don’t overfeed!
Maybe you enjoy seeing your Reticulated Python go crazy with food. But FYI, it is not good for their health, it can even result in the sudden death of the snake.
As a novice keeper, it’s natural for you to worry that they will starve. But they don’t! They are snakes, unlike any other animal! So, you don’t have to worry about snakes not eating for a long time. They are designed for that.
One more thing you need to know, Reticulated Pythons are food-oriented, so you may find them always hungry. But that’s what they are!
