I believe that snakes especially are overfed in captivity. The most I will feed a snake is every 7 days, but I don't have a problem with skipping a few weeks here and there. Snakes in the wild don't get fed on such a subject schedule. Besides, having an irregular feeding schedule is considered to be enrichment by many zoos.
