I feed my hatchling pastel male every 4 to 5 days. I also feed my male normal that is over 1000 grams and my female that weighs close to 700 grams every 7 days.

Does feeding 4-5 days make your snakes grow faster When younger

I feed every 4-5 days because my snake seems very hungry if I feed him at longer intervals. Snakes do typically grow faster when they are babies.

Re: Pros and cons feeding every 5 days or 7days
My babies are on a twice a week schedule. Monday-Thursday for me. They are growing like weeds. My June Spider is 450g and my end-of-July Het Pieds are in the 250g and 300g. Young ones tend to have faster metabolisms and grow as fast and you can safely feed them. I do 3 day/4 day because it gives them enough time to digest before the next meal.
My adults are currently every 7 days but I've had some be fasting and lost weight and bumped up their schedule to get them back to weight faster.

Nice from what has been posted so far I can't see anything negative coming from feeding more often

I spoke with a breeder (Robert Seib) who told me he feeds his hatchlings every 7 days until they are several months old, because feeding too often can cause the liver to become inflamed.
