When is it feeding time ............

I was thinking of something the other day when I had someone email me asking if I wanted to "adopt" his boa. He gave me the usual spiel and was telling me all about the snake and even sent two photos. But one thing he said caught my eye. He said "I feed it a large rat every two weeks."
To me, for an adult boa that seems to long between feedings. In the photos, and for the locality of boa the snake seemed under sized.

So here I am to maybe start a small debate. I would like for everyone to tell me how often you feed your kids (aka snakes), and when you feel is an appropriate between meals. All opinions would be appreciated.

I feed my snakes every 5 -7 days. For me any longer then 10 days (adult snakes only) is too long between feedings.

Post up folks.
