Increase feeding?

[Justnblaze]

So my ball python of about 3 years started eating again after being lost in my house for a while. Because of this shes just around 3 feet. She has been eating a small rat once a week for the last 2 weeks. I want to get her a growth spurt, should I increase her feeding to twice a week? Bad idea?

a growth spurt? so you just want to bulk your snake up because you want to?

feed it appropriately sized food and let it grow at its own pace. I have about a 3 footer eating two small rats per feeding and he is doing fine.

i meant she is eating one rat once a week. And because she was lost should i be feeding her more?
