So last Wednesday I fed my snake which was his first feed of me having him/her and im just wondering should i feed him/her this Wednesday or wait till he/she defecates his previous feed ?
How old is it?
Feed them every three days at that age
I don't think my snakes have a calendar so they don't know if its Monday or Thursday and as there deaf even when I tell them it's Wednesday they don't quite get it, feed young snakes every three days until adult size, young is under three years.
really ? we dont eve know what species it is yet , for all we know it could be a woma in which case that is kinda bad advice depending on the food type and size it could lead to very well in result in fatty liver , yes i know that is more of a problem with older snakes on fattier rodents but from reading the article on sxr website it kinda appears it could also be a result from power feeding when young and growing them to quickFeed them every three days at that age
i feed hatchy about every 3-4 days yearlings once a week (twice if power feeding) and adults once ever 2 weeks- 1 month.
find something that suits you theres not right or wrong time as snakes are opportunistic ambush predators. hence a snake might come across 2 rats in 1 week in the wild and not see any for another 6 months and still be perfectly healthy

You guys feed your pythons a lot of food for something that doesn't need it haha. My hatchlings get fed once a week-ish, yearlings once every 1-2 week and adults every 4-5 weeks depending on the season (of course none of them are fed like clockwork). My adult males don't get fed for any of the cooler months because they have better things on their mind.
Exactly this.
Also their defecation has no relevance to whether or not they're hungry or able to be fed and so forth. Feed them regardless if they poop or not that week
