Why so grumpy?

Adult ball pythons even with their slower metabolism are fed 7-10 days. Your 9 months bp should be eating every 7 days.

Oh ok. The rats I were feeding him were 40 gram small rats.

He's a cute chunky monkey.

Ok, thanks... so a 40 gram rat once a week should be perfect until he hits about 500 grams.

That sounds good. Then what do you recommend he goes on after 500?

Once he gets around the 500 gram mark you can go up a size in prey. Since he's a male he prob will never outgrow sm adult rats (50-89 grams typically).

40 grams is a weaned rat. A small rat is 50-89 grams like Craig said. Have you seen this chart before?
