| Hi guys, a quick question... What time of day is best to feed? My 4 month old is most active after about 8pm, would this be ok? What time of day does everyone feed? |

| i feed mine any time of day. They all take the food fine. I leave all my snake food out to defrost by themselves at room temp. Doesnt take pinkies long at all. |

| I feed mine in the evening, it's a personal choice really and whatever time is suitable for you usually works for the snake ... In the past mine has got fed in the afternoon and was still as eager to eat :) |
