That is great you keeping records. but you should just feed them as much as they will eat and offer food often. Not on a schedule. Especially if you are working with breeding animals.
I don't have a fixed schedule, but I know when they will want to eat again. Some like to eat more often than others. The average is every ten days. When I feed them I give them as much as they want. After my female pyro laid her eggs I fed her every other day for awhile until she seemed satisfied, then went back to her pre-breeding habit of every 7 to 10 days. I watch them and if somebody seems hungry sooner I feed it. So I really don't have a hard and fast schedule; the snakes set the pace, not me.
