After watching the SnakeBytesTV episode recently where they revealed their feeding results, I've gone from a twice a week feeding schedule to once a week. I believe this will do two things for me:
1. I will save money on rats.
2. I will have faster growing snakes.
Basically, feeding a large meal once a week should get you a huge increase in growth compared to two smaller feedings a week. Even one regular sized meal a week is better than two smaller meals.
It's looking like to me, that the commonly held idea that more smaller meals makes for a faster growing snake is a fallacy. It looks like smaller meals increase the snake metabolism with no downtime. So most of the nutrients they get from those small meals go back into digesting the next small meal.
