If we were talking about an older snake it wouldn't be so bad. Considering this snake is still in its first year it should really be feed once a week, IMO. All my snakes get fed once a week even my adults. Will the snake be ok on a 2 week schedule, sure. Might it thrive and grow as much as on a one week schedule, probably not. Its up to you to decide; I understand the handling point but to a certain extent we have to sacrifice something as well to make sure these animals are as healthy as they can be. 4 out of 7 days isn't so bad.
