You will get mixed answers on this........

I feed some things every 5 days and some ever 10 to 14 days.

Baby Burms do wel on proper size prey every 6 to 8 days IMO.

Power feeding is dangerous for many reasons, but especially so for Burms. Burms are very prone to obeesity, a condition which often leads to premature death. Fat builds up around the liver and heart and it kills the snake that other wise should live a long and happy life. I wouldn't recommend doing it. Burms get huge in no time with a regular feeding schedual of every 7 days or so.
