I put all my animals on an aggresive feed schedule. Every 3 to 5 days. Once the males hit the 800 gram mark i back them off to a once a week schedule. Females that tend to go off feed during cycling and breeding tend to balance out the aggresive feeding schedule so they dont get overweight. Now if your just keeping a snake as a pet you dont need to be so aggresive cause they dont go through the rigors of breeding season.
