Been told by BE on a different forum that for 176g, 3 month old Boo, that prey size between 17-25g is fine for her. If I feed her the larger of the 2 weights (25g), does this mean that i would be feeding her every 7 days, or still every 5 days. just wondering if the weight of the prey affects how long it takes snakes to digest it.

Just to give a different perspective, I have red weekly with every snake I have had, changing to 10 days then 2 weeks around the 1kg mark. Work the one that works for you.

It doesnt make a huge differance either way. I would probably feed every 7 days.
