From everything I have learned that's pretty old school. Current thought (with a lot of real experience backing it up) from a good number of breeders on this site is to feed less than snake's girth or at most equal to but not larger than. Smaller meals seem to keep the snake's healthier in the long run and promote a more regular, aggressive feeding response with less incidences of prolonged fasting.
