Just wanted to know at what sort of weight/age you change how frequent you feed your royals?

Hi, this is the guide I use, courtesy of Blackecho:-

Feed 10/15% of snake's weight, or a prey item of girth no larger than girth of snake.

0-400g royal - feed every 5 days
400-800g royal - every week
800-1200g - every 10 days
1200+ - every 14 days

There is no hard and fast rule about a certain food item for a certain age; royals differ so much - for example I have a cf10 male at 1250g now on a medium rat every fortnight - my cf09 girl, at 735g, is on an XL weaner every week. So it definitely depends more on weight.Hope this helps.
