I guess I'm just confused why you'd be feeding a 3 year old snake weaned rats?

Sounds like you have a bit of a garbage gut!

Re: My ball python ate 4 times...in one week!!
Nothing wrong with multiple feeds, I do it quite often.
I have a friend that feeds all of his snakes 20ish gram rats all day long and his snakes grow faster than most.
May 09 lesser female 1550 grams
May 09 lesser female 1145 grams
Aug. 09 yb female 1100 grams
and more, all fed 20 gram rats as many as they'll eat once a week.
One prey item, 5 tiny prey items, as long as the snakes are eating who cares.
I'm laughing at him feeding 1500 gram snakes 20 gram rats, he's laughing at me because his snakes are growing faster than mine

Re: My ball python ate 4 times...in one week!!
i feed my snakes smaller then recommended meals, just more often. it keeps them eating and more lean then fat in my opinion. i breed my own food so i can do this without spending rediculous amounts of money. ill feed every 3-4 days.
1.1 het pied
1.1 butter
1.0 lemon pastel yellow belly
0.1 lemon pastel
and the addiction begins!
feeders(rats) - breeders(1.9) very happy male!
feeders(mice) - 2.5 breeders

Gotcha. It just sounded like you were used to only feeding him one small prey item because you seemed surprised that he would eat multiple small ones. You also sounded really impressed that it equaled a medium rat. I guess that's why we got the wrong impression!
Good luck finding appropriately sized prey items in the future! Your wallet will sure appreciate it
