It depends on how much he weighs.
I feed hatchlings every 4 days. Then I bump up their feeding schedule to 7 days once they hit 500 grams.

x2 That ^^

thank you. he weighs 197 grams.

he just ate friday at the breeders so should i try feeding him today or tomorrow?

You could always try feeding him tomorrow. But depending on how stressed he is from the trek and change in environment he may not take it. I find it works pretty well to feed one week after arrival with minimal disturbances during the week. Good luck :).
