Bredli Help!!

[kaelz00]

Hey guys, chasing a bit of help with my Bredli python "Tully." He is strikingly brilliant in colour, unsure if this is a common colouring for this breed or "Tully" is a special .....
He is approx 18 months old, roughly 1.5 m .... and has a constant hunger
Any help/ info would be great. He came from a friend who could no longer keep him.:lol::lol::lol:

 

[Sezzzzzzzzz]

what size food is he being fed and how often. how much does the snake weigh?

 

[kaelz00]

Well when we first got him the guy only fed him quails so he does look a bit thin. We feed him medium size rats. I don't know how much he weighs but he is a good eater/pooer lol.

If he is always hungry then the food item is probably too small. How often are you feeding him? Weigh him and the food should be 20% (I think) of his body weight

 

[Sezzzzzzzzz]

how often do you feed him

 

[kaelz00]

Usually after he has a poo. He is fed.

 

[Sezzzzzzzzz]

Usually after he has a poo. He is fed.

if you cant answer how often he is fed, perhaps you can answer how often he poos??? once a week, once a month? once a year?

 

[kaelz00]

Once every 10 days i spose on average.

 

[kaelz00]

Is he standard coloured??? He is alot more stunning than my other.?

 

[Sezzzzzzzzz]

i find it amazing that you can tell how often your snake craps but not when it is fed.

up the size of the food and feed more frequently. You do not need to wait for it to crap before you feed it again.

I suggest you should be feeding every seven days and up the prey size as sezzzzzzzzz said

that animal is fine and is normal looking , you dont need to change anything looks healthy cheers

Were you wondering about it's colouring due to the yellow in the tail?? I actually took real notice for the first time last night how extremely bright yellow the last third of one of my girls is. I had never really taken that much notice of it before and I can't see any yellow in my other girl

Pretty standard coloured Bredli.

My Bredli is around 1.7m and he is on around 300g rats. He weighs 1.4kg as well. Just to give you a ball park figure.
