When they're coming up to a feed, i find they curl over a branch (gtp style) and 'hunt' - ie, wait for food

I feed all mine at night and leave them till morning.
Then double check for uneaten food first thing. |

The pythons generally come out and start hunting as we are eating dinner, so that reminds me that they may need a feed after we are done. The dogs also get very playful and affectionate to remind me to feed them. (Pointed glances at the food bowl are a favourite if I take too long.)
