Our Cali King was hatched on 28th June and is just over 13" long. We're feeding him 1 pinky every 5 - 7 days, is this enough for him? Or should we feed him 2 or more pinkys? Or fuzzies maybe??? He;s our 1st snake we want to make sure we do everything right for him He has no trouble with feeding and has a good stike and aim on him!!!!

If anyone could help it'd be appreciated

Thank you Daz :) i'm sure he'd take 3 or even more if we let him haha he seems the greedy type too! He had 2 pinks 4 days ago so im goin to defrost 2 more tomorrow morning and see how he goes on that :)

Hi Jo/Danny,

I'm a first time keeper as well.

My Cali king hatched in july, currently he is feeding on 3 pinkies every 5 - 6 days, he is 14.5 inches long and 19grams in weight.

Baised on what I have read on the forum snakes are really individual with how much you can feed them. Mines greedy lol, but lump is gone after 24 hours and he has passed crap within 48 so im pritty sure im not over feeding.

Gunna move him up to fuzzys soon

Given this im sure your king could take 2, maybe even 3 pinkies.

Daz

once the first has gone down and he starts searching again offer another.

yes we did notice the pinky almost disappear after he'd eaten it. We fed him another when we got home last night and he took it well. On his next feed should we giv him his 2nd pinky as soon as he's eaten the 1st or should we wait a few hours again?

if theres no bump once its gone down then move up to 2

and by previous pics, i ofc meant the pics in the photos thread...

Hey, judging by the size of him from the previous pics i would up it to 2 pinkies every 5 days...
