I got the info for that post from the Barker's book
I too feed young one's every 5 days- until they reach about 200g. However, the OP was asking about feeding twice a week

Well, there's that.

Maybe in the future you could answer questions like this without the scare tactics and quote where your knowledge came from if not from hands on experience.

I would call that twice in one week. You do it until 200 grams, I do every 4-5 days until they are about a year old.

alright so every 5 days wouldnt harm her?its not that im impatient i was just wondering as i dont really know all that much about BPs but thank you for all the good advice...
so if i feed every 5 days should it be a normal sized prey or smaller?

also what does OP mean?sorry i know im a newbie lol

[rabernet]

OP means Original Poster (you in this case).

If she/he is a baby, you should be fine offering an appropriately sized prey item every five days. If they start to fast, pull back to once every 7 days.

you should have gotten an adult snake if you knew you were going to be frusterated by the growing process, just sit back and enjoy
