The problem with your schedule is timing. At some times of the year, that would be fine. At other times of the year, like now, feeding daily is normal.

I fear what your doing is having records, guide you. You know, once a week, twice a week. That's not how reptiles work.

At this time of year, wild snakes are finishing off egg laying, and the rainy season is supporting lots of prey. They have a window to consume as much as they can, as often as they can.
Neonates will have hatched by the end of next month and feed like their lives depend on it, and their lives do.

In captivity its the same, the heat of the summer is suppose to ramp up their metabolisms and they should feed like crazy. As fall winter sets in, they slow down, both feeding and growing.

They next three months is key to how they will perform as adults. Good luck
