How old are they andy

It depends on the weight of the snake, here is the guide to help you.

When they're on single pinks (2-3g), I feed every 5-6 days. (Snake = 4-15g)
-Double pinks (3g x 2) every 5-6 days. (Snake = 16-23g)
-Small fuzzies (5-7g) every 6-7 days. (Snake = 24-30g)
-Regular fuzzies (7-9g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 30-50g)
-Hoppers (9-12g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 51-90g)
-Weaned (14-20g) every 7 days (Snake = 91-170g)
-Adult (20-30g) every 7-x days (Snake = 170+)

This was sent to me now i will pass this on to you lol.

Hope this helps

i have been looking for that rough guide for feeding and weights everywhere but couldnt find it!!
you're a genius chris!

Mont was born in June and hes only recently started taking two pinkies but hes 21g already..I think it depends on the snakes - if they seem to take two fine and there are two normal size bumps then thats ok but with yours being that size maybe alternate it so they get 2 one feed and 1 the next so they aren't overloaded and they get used to it
