I usually defrost the mice and rats overnight and feed in the morning. Unless I forget to get them out then it may be late evening or they wait for the next day.

My guys are happy whenever-I always feed out of the viv. in a tub/rub type thing.I do this so they don't think every hand that goes in bears food!
Some of them now get quite excited when I put them in their feeding tub
I TRY and feed the baby royals at night,when they're active-but that's another story

It varies for me.. I work it around my shifts normally. If I'm working days, I'll feed him the night before, that way I'm not tempted to get him out for a few days.. If I'm off and I feed him, I try and do it in the evening so we get to get him out during the day..no set times really..

The time I feed my snakes varies depending on when I have time to do it. Sometimes in the morning, sometimes in afternoon but usually in the evenings. They don't seem to mind when they get fed.

Just given willow her first feed, she seems most active around 7pm-9pm so I went for then and it did the trick.

I usually feed in the afternoon/evening, but have been known to feed in the morning if necessary - eg if we're busy later or if I forgot the previous night

6.25 so they can eat and watch their fav TV show :P

I feed when ever, usually about 7/8 as thats when I have time.

I also feed evenings most of the time, for the same reason as Razee, but I do feed in the day sometimes as well depending on what I'm doing that day
Razee Posted - 03/05/2013 : 21:36:31
Evenings here - most of the time, also because that's when corn snakes would hunt in nature, so they might be more inclined to eat :-)

I feed in the evenings simply because it's easier(all day for the food to defrost) and I find my corns tend to take it better in the evenings.

I feed in the evenings too. Only because it's the best time of day for me.

I feed in the evening, but i don't think mine would be too bothered what time they where fed as long as they were fed :-)
Mamma Posted - 03/05/2013 : 18:14:01
it all depends on the person I guess. Some people feed during the day, because that is when they have time to, others in the evening.

We feed in the evening, once the youngest 2 kids have gone to bed so my eldest and I c an have peace to feed/clean the reptiles.
