I agree , I feed my balls once to twice a week depending on their behavoir , they will tell you when they are hungry this is why it is very important to take alittle time out of your schedules to just observe your beautiful pets , remember this is why we purchased them in the first place, I always look at the waste my snakes expel , if it is very dark I know that the balls have absorbed all of the nutreints out of the prey animal , and thats what I want to see so I feel that you should just feed every five to seven days this gives the snakes digestive system a chance to really break down the prey , remember also to make sure their is adequate heat in your enclosures snakes are not like us warm blooded it takes alot of energy and heat to digest a meal espically if its a large one .
