How often should I feed Diablo

I was wondering how often should I feed my snake. I've been told once a week by people and other people told me every 5 or 6 days. It still eats pinkies but I think I'll have to go a bit bigger soon or maybe 2 pinkies?! How will I know if I have to feed him bigger food or feed it 2 pinkies?!

Thanks guys and sorry this question as probably been asked before somewhere.
 
I suggest doing a search for the "Munson Plan" Although really there isn't a big difference between 5-6 days and once a week. I would also suggest purchasing a book such as Kathy Loves "The Corn Snake Manual" so that you can learn more about the care of your snake.
Good Luck

Too late, already posted it for you. ;) The Munson plan that is.
 
Actually there is a bit of difference in feeding on a 5-6day cycle vs. 7day. Until recently, I had fed every Saturday. A couple of my snakes for years like that. I compare my '06's to ppl's that have been fed on the Munson Plan, and just think "Wow, those snakes are going to make it to breeding size a lot faster than mine were growing ", the reason I decided to change my schedule.

All of my younger corns came from someone that pretty much feeds only on a weekly schedule. My '06 Blizzard looks like some ppl's well-fed early '07s. My '05 male Anery, now my largest snake at 32"/170g about as thick as a finger, is on hoppers and still fits in a deli cup.
They grow fine on a weekly schedule, but if you want to breed females at 3yrs old seems you have to feed pretty well.
