So under feeding = slow growth = long time between sheds.

When they are young they are programmed to be voracious and grow fast.

So you definitely want to feed more.

Thank you for your advice. I assure you that he gets the largest hoppers they have. I have always chosen rodents for my snakes that were larger rather than the smaller. And it is why I'm switching him to rats next month. I never had a question on what size I needed. My question was regarding the number of times a week to feed him. I'm not completely ignorant of ball python husbandry. I am worried about his tail shedding properly. I checked with my friend and he is shedding almost a month about a month apart.

Again, thanks for the advice, but there are some people like me who do know how to feed their animals.
