    Right and wrong......
    Hatchlings can be fed more often because they are trying to grow BUT any snake fed too often is just going to blow it out the other end.
    If you weigh your snakes more often you can actually see this happen.
    I weigh mine weekly before I feed and when I see an animal pooping every week or two and hovering at the same weight it was a couple weeks ago I know everything going in is also coming right out and is wasted.
    When this happens, I cut back on either size or skip a week.

    I use to and still do believe in offering till they refuse but not so much once they get around the 700ish gram mark.
