Do you feed all your snakes on the same day?
So far mine are all fed on different days (just how it worked out when I brought them home) but I want to try and get them all feeding on the same day.
Just wondered what you lot do  |

Just start feeding them on the day you choose.
If it means 1 or 2 going for a few days longer then so be it. It wont make any odds to them.
Although better if you make some wait a few days longer than feed a few days earlier, if that makes sense. |

I feed every tuesday evening. If one of them misses a feed and ends up on a different day then I move the day by 1 each week until they are back on the same day.
I just find it easier to do them all in one hit, and feeding them on tuesday means they are all ok for handling over the weekend. |

I feed mine on a fri so they are fine again for my kids to handle on a sunday(they are away with their dad at the weekends)
It makes it so much easier, the down side is no snakes to hold for 2 days but we have plently other animals that can be held! Lol
One of my snakes used to be fed on a mon when I got him and as I didnt want to leave him for almost 2 weeks without feeding I fed him the mon a week after getting him then the following week on a tues and so on until he got round to being fed on the fri the same as the others |

| All mine get fed on the same day, just easier. Normally they get fed Monday, that way I work in the week without disturbing them and at the weekend I can hold when I'm a bit free :D |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

I have two on 7 day feeds and one on 10 day feed so obviously can't feed on the same day. I have a spreadsheet which i made that tells me how many days under/over due they are for a feed and I just check that each day. It also is used for recording:
SNAKES NAME
HATCH DATE
PURCHASED DATE
DAYS BETWEEN FEEDS
DATE SHED
WHAT THE SNAKE ATE (PINKY, FUZZY ETC...)
DATE OF LAST DEEP CLEAN OF VIV
DATE AND WEIGHT OF THE SNAKE
ADDITIONAL NOTES
AND A ROUGH FEEDING GUIDE (MUNSON PLAN)
If you would like a copy of the spread sheet I did put a copy on here a while ago
http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=13325
Sorry if I got off topic there. I just think once a snake collection grows it can become easy to forget what day is what and also I think a record which can be printed and shown to a vet is a good idea.

Although I feed mine on different days I do keep records so I know exactly what's going on with each snake! I just wouldn't want to go for 48 hours without being able to have a snake out..... |

I keep writen records plus have them on the pc too.
Only downside I can think if I feed them all the same day is they will probably all poop the same day!
I woke up to 4 smelly rubs today from the corns I fed 2 days ago :( |

| i feed all mine on saturdays normally. sometimes i make em wait a little longer. much easier i think to feed all on one day. defrost all mice/rats together and feed! that said my systems well out of sorts at the mo. wotsits shedding so i can feed biscuit in case he mistakes her for a mouse with the scent (they cohabit) and serendipity is fortnightly but with prismas illness ive had to rebuy/sterilise ALL my equiptment, bin all old food (there was a re-freexe in ther) and start from scratch! hectic times. but yeah, one day feed for the win! |
