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. |

| 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. |

| 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 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  |

| 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. |

| 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.. |

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 |

| 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. |
