feeding question relating to weight please help

[coopaloop2121]

So i feed my ball pthon about every 6-7 days, I feed him 1 medium sized mouse. I am currently in the process of beading rats but still waiting for the babies, but thats besides the point... at what weight should i extend the time between feedings, currently Django is around 250 grams. and what size rat should i be feeding?

General rule people use is 10-15% of body weight. So 25 grams or so

I wouldn't extend the time between feeding, id stick to once every week.

A pup once a week or even every 5 days. You can easily feed your snake once a week for the rest of its life. Breeders tend to feed their males once every two weeks when it's not the breeding season, but you can feed a pet every week and not worry about it.

I feed babies (sub 500gm) 10-15% every 4-5 days,

Sub adults (500-1000gm) 10-15% every 7 days

Adults 1000+ 4-7% every 7 days.

My smallest is 200gm he gets a fuzzy/weanling rat (around 20gm) every 5 days

My largest is 3800 gm she gets a small/medium* rat (150-250gm) every 7 days.

* the rat and mice sizes like fuzzy, weanling small, medium, large, ect. vary supplier to supplier. My supplier runs big, so a 'small' rat from her is 65-150gm there can be quite a lot of variation in just name systems. That is why so many use weights it is not so variable.
