ball python eats like he is American

so today's feeding day for baron. I he has been feeding pretty easy never a problem with missed feeds. that's the problem...... he has been eating so well I'm concerned hes over eating.

some background

-got him when he was a hatch-ling from petco (:colbert:yeah yeah, there's no breeders around here)
-he was under 60g when I got him
-he didn't eat for the first 3 weeks I had him
-fed on live for about 4 weeks
-he has been eating f/t every week since with out even a single hesitation
-i have had him 5 months
-he is currently 224 grams(before feed)
-I am now feeding him two mice on Mondays(about 13 grams each or 26 grams total between the 2)

ok so i fed him the first mouse came back fed the second gave him about a half hour to get it settled before transferring back to his tank. well I opened his feed bin and he struck his wheres the mouse pose. As i moved my hand he followed.... I have have yet to get bit and didn't want to have my first today. so... I garbed a clean pair of underwear to hide my heat signature or at least provide a small barraior if he did bite. lucky he did not. im wondering if im underfeeding or is he just a prey hunting mouse destroyer?:snake2::lmao:

hope i gave you all the info you need

Feed him in his enclosure, problem of getting bit solved, he was just still in feed mode

As stated above, feed in your snake's normal enclosure. Also I don't think you are overfeeding, when a ball stops taking rodents during feeding then they are full. I have many snakes that will eat multiple rats if offered. 224g before feeding at 5 months old isn't too big, I have some hatchling that were well in the 4-500g range at the same age.

How does one eat like an American?

Your bp uses a fork?

What size pray are u feeding him? I make sure to feed mine a rat the size of the thickest part of his body. Even then he will slam down two of them.

Switch him over to rats if u can. More nutrition in rats there there in mice. It will plump him up faster.
