Should I feed her every 5 days or every 7?

I feed snakes under 500 grams every 4 days. Once they go over 500 grams, I move them to a 7 day feeding schedule.

It depends on the size of the meals you're feeding and if you plan on breeding. Are your snakes in good body condition? Have nice muscle tone?

I also follow this. I try to read my snake's behavior and let him tell me when he's ready. Which just happens to be about every 5 days. :)

I would say yes. My snake has terra cotta pots for hideys so the opening is in the top... about 3 days after feeding, he'll rest just his head on the top of the pot. By the time the 5 day comes by, he has about half of his body on top of it and is sitting stock still is the S strike pose. So, when I drop the food in there, he's ready to go and it's gone immediately. They give off pretty good body language in my experience. ;)
