Well, there's really not enough info in your post to say. You should start tracking the snakes weight. My feeling is if the snake is gaining weight, then at minimum it's getting enough to eat. That is not to say that an increase in food size is not appropriate. One commonly held approach on food size is to feed an item whose girth is 100-150% of the snakes girth at it's widest point. If the meals are not leaving any bulge in the snakes belly it's probably time to upsize. Another not so common approach is a rule of thumb that I have used for many years. If it takes the snake more than 15-20 minutes to ingest the meal from the time it has actually started consuming it, the food item is unnecessarily large. If the snake inhales the item in about 5 minutes or less, it's time to upsize.
