    Depends on the animal sometimes I feed hatchlings every 3 to 4 days sometimes 5 to 7, depends on whether or not they eat, once their metabolism slows down they get fed less.

    I feed them once every 5 days with a big meal. That is neither once nor twice a week, lol.
    (I think 5 days is a very common schedule for hatchlings, I was surprised not to see it in the poll).

    I like to feed mine every 3-4 days to bulk them up a little quicker. I don't necessarily feed them the biggest thing they can eat, but I also don't feed something small.

    I see, I made it without the 5 days schedule because I think people will loved to do the simple way with regular day to feed the snakes, I personally do Monday and Thursday for feeding my snakes, the juveniles and adult will eat every Monday..with the 5 days schedule the day to feed the animals will be different every week, never though people will use that schedule but after I read all the comments, maybe I'm wrong. Thanks for all the inputs, this forum is always great to gather information!
