I'm buying two from a guy today and he said once a week, but someone else told me 10 days is fine.

7-10 days is fine. I feed adults once every two weeks. Gravid females and females recovering from laying are fed weekly. I wouldn't feed any more often than once a week though.

General rule for an adult snake this size is every 7-10 days. Depends on how hungry the snake is and if it is overweight or not.

O my god People!! what are you doing!! you are suppost to replicate the feeding conditions that snakes have in the wild!! not just how you feel! young snakes eat fuzzies or hoppers about once a week! snakes 1ft and 6in to about 3ft eat about once every 2 or 2and a half weeks. 4 to 6ft ever 3 to 4 weeks. big snakes can easily go months without eating. Dont over feed your snake there not puppie dogs!

I have always fed my snakes once a week. Even tho they are slow metabolizers I personally think waiting for two weeks is to long. The exception to this rule is really large snakes. They can be fed once every two weeks.

7-10 days i think anything after that is to long if your just getting him you should ask the person your getting him from why he is selling him and ow he is feeding him as he will used to a certain time and a certain way of being fed
good luck
