No not weekly, he basically tells me when he is hungry now adays. When i see he has his head out of his hide for a entire day, that pretty much is the signal. This happens anywhere from every 10-14 days

I would consider making his feeding interval at least 2 weeks. Male ball pythons only need a small rat every two weeks. Unless you are breeding him to several females, in which case he should probably be offered a small rat every 10 days. Which he would probably refuse bc he is in breeding mode. The less times you offer decreases the chances of a refusal.
