Appropriate sizes (cage, feed, BP)

So my BP is approximately one year old now. What's a range of weight he should be right now?

I currently have him housed in a 10 to 15 gallon tank, what's the size I should have him in at full-grown and can I move him into that now?

I've been feeding him what I think our jumbo mice from mice direct they might be large but I think Jumbo, once every five days, should I be shooting for 10 to 15% of his body weight still? Should I be switching to rats?

Can you post a picture of him so we can see the size?

From what I've learned is there isn't a size they "should" be at by a certain time because they all grow at different rates and to different sizes. As long as the spine isn't protruding and the skin is tight (not wrinkled) them chances are he's being fed properly, or if he's super aggressive or super inactive, even though they're normally really docile.

A lot of people that use tanks I typically see them using 40-50 gallons for there full grown. But a lot would say switch to tubs in which 28-32qt I believe is the average and 41qt for females.

Tubs make it easier to keep humidity and heat up while also making them feel more secure because they don't have 4 open walls to see everything going on. I'm still new to ball pythons so by all means if anyone sees something I said wrong correct me [emoji16] and I've always heard 10-15% is the numbers to stick between. Or the size of the biggest part of there body (girth not length) hope I helped!

Ok so here is a pic as I was soaking him today to help with a bad shed. I had a period of poor care but I'm doing better now and he's looking much better. I weighed him today at 353g. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/25/tajenusa.jpg

He was 230g on March 31

Bump,

I would be covering 3 sides in a tank, I don't see and know how to work with tubs, and it seems like more of a hassle unless I am going the rack route, but he is only my second snake and only BP. I don't see my collection expanding any time soon.
