To be honest I feed mine once the sun goes down so it can be anywhere from 4pm in winter to 10pm in summer, as they come alive after dark, lol! If you're worried that 2am is too late, try leaving the prey in the same room to defrost while you're at work. This should stimulate her interest in hunting for her tea as her food's scent fills the air, and she'll be positively dribbling by the time you get home
Alternatively, you could alter her routine slightly and feed her a couple of days early or late. Now that my little family has grown I have some eating every week, some every 10 days and a couple that will only eat once every 2 weeks. A few days missed won't do her any harm and it means you would be able to maintain a regular time to feed her.
The only thing I would say is that royals are opportunists like most snakes so you've got nothing to lose by attempting to feed her in daytime. You never know, she might just surprise you
Hope these ideas help |
