supposed to be a ball python

Careful with your words. A lot of people who follow this advice end up starving their snakes and neglecting them out of hoping their snake doesn't grow big. What you should do is feed it normally at weekly or biweekly intervals. If you don't want a snake that gets huge, then go and get a ball python or boa constrictor, but if you have a Burm, don't expect anything short of giant.

OP, I hope you know about all the laws (federal and local) in regards to Burms.

yeah, true, such a scedule really needs to be set up properly by people with real giant snake experience.

i just know its being done successfully by keepers and breeders of retics and burms, breeders even discuss how to make the scedule so that the snake will produce heavy clutches without getting a heavy body too fast. on http://www.youtube.com/user/prehistoricpetstv they talked about it several times when it comes to retics.

EDIT: yes, weekly or biweekly, the question is: how large should the meal be, what weight proportions. maybe 1 big rat a week is fine for now, maybe it already needs 2 per feeding, maybe it will soon require 5, i have no clue. or when to make the switch to rabbits.
