    Just feed him every 5-7 days. He will put on weight with a regular feed schedule, and appropriately sized prey...

    Yup. I feed every 6 days. He will put on weight give it some time. They grow faster than you think. Offering him food too often could actually stress him out a little bit so just keep a consistent schedule.

    Every 5-7 days will be just fine. I feed all my snakes once a week and we're doing just fine.
