Welcome to the site. You'll get better and quicker responses if you put questions like this in the appropriate forum. The 'Husbandry' sub-forum would be a better place for this.

You won't be able to feed a snake twice a week for long. Once your snake has grown enough to handle fuzzies, then hoppers, then adults, you will need more time between feedings to ensure that prey items are digested properly. Over-feeding can lead to regurges which will actually stall growth.
