Feeding Every 5 Days

[Bucko]

I have read the care sheet over on this website, and it says that you should feed your ball python weekly. I was wondering if I could feed her safely with no ill effects later in life every 5 days?

Why would you want to?

If feeding every 7 days is adequate, why would you want to feed more frequently? You'd be more prone to fasting, and feeding every 5 days really doesn't allow enough 'down time' from the digesting stress to their bodies. I say just stick with 7 days.

Alright thanks a lot. I will stick to feeding my snake every week. I have not been feeding my snake every 5 days, I was just wondering if i could do it safely.
