i got the same question. i feed mine a rat pup now every 7. i might go to five days. if i was you i would go to five and after she/he gets bigger feed rat pups.

You could start feeding her a slightly bigger mouse. I usually keep my snakes under 200g on a small mouse.

10-15% of their body weight is a good way to measure how much to feed.

Its really up to you if you want to feed every 5 or 7 days. If you think your snake will eat every 5 days, go for it.
