    One appropriate sized feeder every week is usually suggested. Just because your snake is still out of its hide does not necessarily mean it is hungry. Make sure the meals are the proper size and you will be good.

    If it were me I would wait to feed until the next feeding day, whenever that is to be.

    I agree with KMG. Your little guy won't starve if you wait til next feeding day. I do suggest for you to get a scale and weigh him after he sheds/poops and then offer pray that's about 10-15% of his body weight.
