How big is the snapper? Personally i think everyday feeding might be a little much, idk if other share this opinion?

Feeding every 2-3 days is fine. You can buy frozen whole baby chickens, live crawfish or find a fish farm and stock his tank/ pond with live fingerling bass, brim, etc. The local kids museum feeds their 100 lb. AS a couple of whole rats every 2-3 days.
