Yes I follow a very similar regime, if a young snake is shedding between 5 and 7 weeks with me then I am happy so I guess we are around about in the same ballpark. I was told this by a breeder who has bred literally 1000's of snakes and it has always worked for him, it is very obvious when you think about it.

I try to feed (animals between a few months and 18 months old) enough so that they shed approximately every 6-8 weeks, which seems (imo) about ideal. If they are shedding every 4-6 weeks then the frequency of feeding should be slowed a bit, and if they are shedding 8-10 weeks then feeding size (and/or) frequency should be increased. Again I stress all individuals are different, but the 6-8 week shed seems to work on most (imo)
