    I agree- hopefully feeding f/t. And it's better (healthier) to underfeed slightly than to overfeed slightly- so when in doubt, lengthening the interval between meals is a good way to go.

    And...feeding snakes doesn't have to be such an "exact science" at every feeding anyway. They sure don't eat on schedule in the wild, nor is it essential for captive pets or breeders.
