Most ball pythons that I have dealt with will double there weight (at younger ages) in about 4 to 6 weeks. It can be done in three if you are feeding aggressively. I was just a bit concerned that you were overfeeding or feeding too large of a food item.

Sincerely,
Well, I didn't weigh him when i bought him. He just looked twice the size of the baby bps at the pet store when i took him to get weighed. I feed one fuzzy a week, but I'm going to try and upgrade since his shed. Also, I haven't fed him since last Monday. So, this time he's waiting a little bit longer for food. I want to wait to make sure he's comfortable in his new home. Sorry for the confusion. It could be a new hatch in the pet store. I was just shocked at how much bigger he looked. I'm going to take him again this weekend and see if he's grown since the shed. I'll update then too.
