Who says that you "have to" see a lump in his stomach. Ball pythons aren't actually designed to eat every week, so feeding 52 mice a year give or take is fine. If your snake is constantly roaming his enclosure looking for food and feeding ultra aggressively every week, bump him up to two adult mice. For a male, that is plenty.
