Part of your decision on a feed schedule and what to feed is how interested you are in having them add weight, part of it is convenience (ie, not everyone can easily do 5 days, but a lot of people can easily feed once a week on weekends), part of it is what your snake wants (some eat less often than others, some like smaller prey).

Find something relatively convenient for you, and start from there. Pay attention to how your snake responds and make adjustments as needed.
I was thinking the same thing. It's not an issue of money or convenience, and I would enjoy seeing him add size and grow, but I wouldn't want to do so at detriment to his overall health and I wouldn't do anything considered "power feeding". It just doesn't seem like he is adding too much weight between meals right now and I was wondering if anybody else fed theirs differently. Essentially once I open the packet of rats he's already out and looking to eat so he's definitely a hungry little guy. Thanks for the advice though.
