    Is his eating schedule fine?

    It has been a while since I‘ve posted on this forum. For context: I have a 3.5 year old male ball python. He has been with me since he was 4 months old. Anyway so I‘ve been talking to another ball python owner. Normally I‘m certain that my husbandry is fine but that guy kept telling me confidently that my ball python wasn‘t eating enough.
    That‘s the reason why I am asking on this forum.

    He eats middle sized rats (90g to 150g). I offer the food every 2 weeks. At most he eats every 2 weeks and at least every month. Normally he eats the first time I feed him, then two weeks later and after that he takes a month before eating again. This circle then repeats itself. So he eats week 2, week 4, week 8, week 10, week 12 and then week 16 and so on.
    He weighs about 1.3 kg (or 1.4/1.5 kg if he has eaten) and is about 45 inches (115 cm) long.

    Are his stats concerning?
