How often should I feed my young ribbon snake minnows and pinky parts?
If you’re offering the snake as much food as it will eat at one time then once a week will usually suffice. If you’re only offering a few fish at a time you can feed, wait for the snake to defecate, and feed again a day after it defecates. This usually means around 3-4 days for young snakes. The amount of food you feed is not set in stone but it does affect the growth rate of a baby snake. A snake that is fed more often will grow much faster than a snake fed less often. The key is just to make sure you do not overfeed, and usually waiting until defecation is a good method.
