    Keep wondering how many grams he will hit in one more year if I keep feeding 10%

    You do not feed an adult 10% unless you want a slugish animal once it eats and want a inconsistant feeder.

    Adult have a slower metabolism they need less food, I don't feed a 400 grams to a 4000 grams female.

    Ideally adult males you want to feed a prey That's 55 to 75 grams every 7 to 10 days, a female does not need anything larger than a 150 grams rat once a week even the largest female.

    Over feeding is a real issue in captivity, considering the size of you snake I would already adjust his feeding especially considering that he is 700 grams and a male.
