How often do i need to feed my kingsnake?

Question

he's about 13 in.

Answer 1

it depends on your snake.  i have one kingsnake that ate 2 times a week until she became an adult then i cut her back to once a week...on occasion she will not eat for a month or two...i have another kingsnake that only eats once a week as a baby...he doesnt want more than that...if i offer him a second meal during the week he will refuse it.  with all that being said i wouldnt feed a baby more than twice a week and an adult i wouldnt feed more than once ever 7 - 10 days.

hope you like your king snake as much as i love mine.

Answer 2

The smaller they are the more often they have to eat.  I would say twice a week at 13".

Answer 3

once a week. if you want it to stay in the smaller size longer then one and the half week feed it once or two weeks. hope yo are happy with your king.

Answer 4

Snakes usually eat only once a week in captivity. You can buy frozen mice at most pet stores, but be sure it's thawed out before feeding.
