Feeding every 6 days . ok or not ?

I just added a few pics to my profile

I'd put him at between 800-900 he's pretty big for his age but he's not overweight so 6 days should be fine.

Yeah I'd agree six is fine my juveniles get fed every five for about the first yr

His weight looks ok to me. It's not the best photo, but he doesn't seem to be showing any signs of being "too skinny"

If he's your only one on that routine, I'd just go to a 7-day schedule. One day isn't going to make that big of a difference, and it might be simpler to just have every Wednesday as feeding day (for example).

Thursday is feeding day here.... and Friday, Saturday, Sunday.... lol!!

I agree every 6 days is not a big deal. We generally stick to once a week for convenience! Hope this helps

Yes, you can even feed your snake every 4 days, but you only do that to get your snake to get some extra weight.

If you have a healthy adult or sub adult, or even juvy and you're feeding 10-15% every 4 days you are very likely power feeding. There's no good reason to feed a healthy bodied 1000gram snake every 4 days In the end you will do more damage than good. Even my females that lay and come out of the breeding season 600-700 grams under their pre-season weight don't get fed every 4 days.
