I have an adult Eastern Ribbon. I feed it a large pinkie every 5 to 7 days. If I miss a feeding I might give him 2. He looks good, has good body mass, and does not seem to roam looking for food. I feel these are good guidlines and can be adjusted a litte for each individual snakes appetite and metabolism. Once a week is a good place to start.

Before my Checkered garter was put in my kingsnake's cage my by a parent, I was feeding him one fuzzy or hopper per week. He was doing real well on that. I wonder if just one pink would be enough for a ribbon, but I don't know how big yours is.
