    I don't think there's anything particular about that. Once a week just seems to be considered a good rate for healthy growth. Same day is easy. It seems like they can get into the routine. Or maybe they just respond to the scent, idk. Some feed every five days for whatever reason they have.
    Most questions are answered here.

    i'd think cuz it'd be easier to remember what day is feeding day if its done the same day every week. i've heard that the snakes will eventually get into the routine & will know when its feeding day & their feeding response is better on that day.

    Word on the block is what mommanessy said, that they recognize feeding day.

    For me, they eat when I offer or they dont. I offer when I want to. I dont think they get schedules in the wild. Im just sayin...
