BP seems hungry but gets the right feeder size

[CakeLike]

My ball python 3 months old weighs a little over 100 gramms and I am feeding him a mouse 17-20 gramms every 6/7 days. According to feeding chart this is correct and he eats it with no problem even though I was worried it would be too much for him since some people say 10% of body weight is good.
Anyhow, he digest for about 2 days in his hide but then he is out and about again roaming the enclosure and seemingly searching for prey. I wonder if he is hungry even though he should get enough. Will he grow right with this?
He is a little triangular, not rounded. It's not bad at all but not as plump as older BP's look.

It's young so it's probably fine but not seeing it I can't be certain.

That activity can be very common and I would bet things are fine if you are in fact feeding those sizes. I have two young Kings right now. My Brooks female will take food and be out the next day acting like I never fed her. Both my GTP and ETB will often be dangling two days after they eat ready for the next meal too.

Be glad you have a great eater and hope it continues.

I wouldn't worry about it if he looks like he has good proportions. At 100g I'm feeding closer to 12-15g but every 5 days, so it more or less equals out to the same.

Yes this was originally the size I wanted to feed him but my local shop did't have this size and the smaller mize where way too small for him so I went for the slightly bigger ones and he took them better then I expected. He never regurgetated and is active shortly after feeding.
So now I am wondering if I should keep this size or downgrade for him.

He has the visable spine but it's not too bad. Although I would prefer if he were a little rounder like other BP's I have seen but I am hoping he grows quickly.

You actually want some spine ridge. Especially if they are laying as it is in the pic kinda wrapped around something. If it's rounded you are probably looking at a overweight snake.
