Snakes eat whole animals that provide complete nutrition—bones, organs, and all.

Frozen-Thawed

Thaw frozen prey in warm water. Safer than live prey, which can injure the snake.

Prey Size

Feed prey that is roughly the same width as the thickest part of the snake's body.

Feeding Frequency

Juveniles eat weekly. Adults eat every 10-14 days. Large species eat every 2-4 weeks.

Domande Frequenti

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.
