feeding every two days like you did is considered power feeding. You aren't power feeding cuz you just did it once, but if you continue to feed like that it will be. Power feeding is bad for your snake as they aren't able to digest food that fast. It will greatly decrease your snakes life expectancy, sometimes even cutting it in half. It is also strong frowned upon in the reptile community cuz the main reason people do it is to increase the size of there snake quickly in order to breed it sooner then it should.
If your snake is a baby it can take two meals a week as it matures you should switch this to once a week. babies digest faster then adults. Also make sure the meals are slightly smaller if you choose to feed twice a week, you can do bigger if you feed once a week. Snakebytes (bhb reptiles) actually did an experiment on whats the best way to feed your snakes and it turns out bigger meals once a week makes them grow faster then smaller meals twice a week. Whatever you decide to do good luck and congrats on the new snake
