I second this^
every ball python grows at different rates. How often you feed plays a big part but as long as the animal looks healthy (not skinny but not obese) that is all that matters. Some people may have larger yearlings because they feed more often to get them to breeding weight faster and some people just have some fast growing snake. I feed rats every 7 days regardless of age. My 7 month female is just shy of 400g, my 6 month male is just over 300g, but I have a 8 month old male that is only under 200g. That male I got as a problem feeder and has continued to be a problem but he maintains his weight and is healthy. There is a chart someone posted from a breeder that recorded the weights of an entire clutch as they grew and averaged them out. It's a pretty decent reference but idk where I saw it
If I fed rats weekly, I'd be evicted for power feeding. ..
