    This! I feed all my hatchlings on a 5 day feeding schedule until they hit the 500g mark

    If I feed a larger meal I wait a little longer to feed them again. If I feed a smaller meal they eat a little sooner next time. Your prey size is good and your feeding frequency is just fine. Don’t pay them too much attention when they “act” hungry, especially after an appropriate meal. Some snakes are always up for more food.
