    feed babies up to about 400-500g every 5 days. Anything bigger than that every 7.

    The way I, personally, do it is I feed anyone eating Fuzzy rats and smaller every 4-5 days. Anyone eating weaned rats or larger every 7 days.

    Hatchling - 500 grams get fed every 4-5 days.
    500 + grams get put on a 7 -10 day schedule.

    I agree with the above. I feed every 5 days until 500 grams and then weekly.

    I'm on a 3-4 day schedule. They feed on sunday, then Wednesday, then the following Sunday repeats the schedule. I'll do that till they hit about 500g then ill go on a 5 day with 10 percent body weight meals. After they pass 1000g I will go on a 7 day, 15 percent meal.

    For the most part, I feed once a week regardless of size/age...

    I have a 210g spider female and she every 2-3 days. Is that bad to be feeding her that much?

    You do know that the 10-15% rule is only for juveniles? Adults shouldn't be getting more than a medium rat worth of food a week. My mediums have been running around 150-175g...and I feed those to my 2200g ball python.
