MBK feeding question

Okay so...as always. answers to this question vary.

I wanted to get some (more varying, I'm sure) answers from MBK owners, in particular.

When do I start moving Noodle's feedings from once a week to longer than that?

He's a year+? now, and was 156 grams last week.

I think I will always feed once a week, just smaller meals. Mine is coming up to a year soon (need to weigh her).

My kings are both 2-3 yrs old and they eat every 7 days on average.They're 600g and 800g each. I'll probably keep them on this schedule until their activity levels start slowing down.

...so nothings going to change for awhile. Okay!

What I used to do (when I only had 1 snake) was wiegh daily and track the #'s. after the feeding there would be a spike then a few days later a drop after a poop. I found that each day after the poop weight would increase slowly (0.1-0.4g/day). after 3 days of that slow groth I would feed again. Knowing what I know now I realize that I was risking a chance of causing her to regurg but It was an interesting learning experience. I did that for the first 18 months I had her. Im not recommending to do this but that was the pattern I observed.

That's roughly the pattern he's on now, anyway--feed Monday, poop Thursdayish.
