Slappy,

You had said that Kaa was used to eating every Thursday before you got him, and every Thursday since. He probably doesnt have a clue that it is "Thursday," but he definitely has noticed the schedule by now. He knows it is his day to eat.

I dont think you need to change anything; if you were to start to feed more often, you may run into issues of the snake overeating and getting sick - contrary to popular belief (here) snakes can overeat to the point that it will kill them. Feeding Kaa every 4 or 5 days wouldnt do that, but it could possibly make him regurgitate his meal - which is very stressful for him, and for YOU, and for YOUR STUDENTS.

Kaa sounds wonderfully healthy & happy. I think you are doing fine with him. Keep up the good work.
