How often do stimsons pythons eat?

I know what they eat, i heard once a week, but does it change depending on how old they are?

Hi rainbow serpent. I start Antaresia hatchies off at around 4 to 5 days between feeds. Once they become yearlings (approx) I will kick it back to 7 to 10 days between feeds. (This is only a guide as there are many variables that can impact on feeding regemes). Hope this helps.

it depends on how much you are feeding them

bigger feeds every 2 weeks smaller feeds every week, personally i feed weekly its easier to remember every week then every second week

So as babies, do I feed them on pinkies or fuzzies?
And as adults, can they feed on small rats?

all snakes are sold at 6 months or more. So they are usally on fuzzie mice. and slowly work there way onto rats. And at adults usally only small to medium rats. Depends on how often you are feeding them!

When their young, feed them one pinkie or one fuzzie a week. When they older, though, you can feed them a small adult mouse, about once to twice a week. Or you can feed them as many as they can in one sitting, and then don't feed it for another month or so.
