Questions Fréquemment Posées

Should I feed live or frozen prey?▼

Frozen-thawed is strongly recommended. Live prey can bite, scratch, and seriously injure or kill your snake. Thaw frozen prey in warm water before offering.

How often should I feed my snake?▼

Juvenile snakes eat every 5-7 days. Adult snakes eat every 10-14 days. Very large species may eat every 2-4 weeks. Overfeeding causes obesity.

My snake won't eat—what should I do?▼

Fasting is common, especially in winter or during shedding. Check that temperature and humidity are correct. Try different prey types or scenting. If fasting exceeds 2-3 months, consult a vet.
