I used to feed my snakes 1 pinky every 5 days! I have recently moved up to 2 pinkies, should i wait 7 days instead of 5 before the next feed!

i would be tempted to mix it up a bit feed every 5-7 days. if you see your snake out stalking sround the 5-6th day give it a feed if they are not out till the 7th day wait till then. make them work a little for there dinner

with any increase in feeding increase the number of days between feeds initially

i do what SC suggested and vary the number of days between feeds within a certain range, for example my adult males are on a 10day-12day-14day cycle
