Starting out it was around 3 months but over the years she has gone as long as 5.5 months with out eating.

My adults are feed like this as well, whether cycled for breeding or not. They only a eat from spring-fall.
I feed babies every 5 days for the first month. Then weekly until 9-12 months depending on the individual then it becomes every 2 weeks. Lately Ive been a bit more random. Snakes don't feed on a schedule in the wild, and grow very slow. Im starting to pull away more and more from scheduled feeding and searching for something that I feel is better
