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

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
