How much to feed?

Ok this is my second time around with bp's, my first was a male Spider that was a slow grower I offered him one maybe two rats a week and he would eat sparingly. I now have a 1800+g female, the previous owner said he would feed her once a month 7 rats which to me is hard to believe a snake would eat 7 rats at one sitting. What would you guys suggest?

Wow....That guy was pulling your chain. Maybe 7 mice in one sitting. I would feed her an appropriately sized meal once per week. During breeding season her feeding response may be more aggressive and you can give her a meal every 5 days or so.

I've heard of adult "mousers" taking 7-10 mice at one meal, but not rats.

With feeding it's really about trying to have an animal that feeds with consistency, I would suggest small/medium rat every week rather then 7 rats once a month at once.
