    You could start feeding her a slightly bigger mouse. I usually keep my snakes under 200g on a small mouse.

    10-15% of their body weight is a good way to measure how much to feed.

    Its really up to you if you want to feed every 5 or 7 days. If you think your snake will eat every 5 days, go for it.
