I have 1.1 Honduran milk snakes born 9/16/2011. They are doing very well Male 32", 74 grams & Female 30", 70 grams. They are ravenous eaters and I have been feeding them 1 pinky rat or 1 dark fuzzy mouse twice per week. Should I be decreasing their intake to once a week now or continue with twice per week? Opinions?

If it were me... I'd keep the feeding schedule you have as long as the snake is readily taking what you offer.
I have a hondo and an abnorma the same age as yours... both are fed two rat pinkies every three to four days... I'll keep up that schedule just as long as they keep pounding them down. I have a pair of 18 month old polyzona that are still on that same schedule... bigger rats of course. I'll keep it up as long as they do... well until they obtain full adult size... then I'll slow it down.
