Snake feeding periods

How often do you feed your snake, i have heard that they dont need a specific feeding regime because in the wild this would be rare.
Although i do not practice that method myself i'd be keen to hear what you all think :?:

I currently try and space my feeding out and try to mimic nature as much as possible. for example I never feed on the same day of the week or the same time either.

With the retics and burms I try to vary the feeding pattern, they get snappy when they get in to a routine so I aim for 7 days next feed 10(ish) days then back to 7(ish) and every 5 or 6 wks miss a feed. This seems to work well with the WC retic in particular and the bigger burms. With younger snakes I keep to a steadier feeding pattern.

Each snake is different though and I do try to cater for the individuals lol. My BCI is down right dangerous when she's not fed exactly on time ;)
