every two months or so,I've had python's go as long as six months.If it's eating at that rate it means he/she is healthy,but it'll only grow maybe 5 feet max,and that depends on the size of the tank.It'll eat when it's hungry,but I've had to force feed my snakes before,so be glad it's eating on it's own.

Once every two weeks for a baby or sub-adult. Once a month is plenty sufficient for an adult. They can go up to a year without eating without any harm.

It really depends on it's age, and how big you want it to get. Also if you planning handling it a lot you should feed more often. For younger snakes you are try to grow ever 2 weeks or so. For adult ever month, or eve 2 weeks if you handle the snake a lot. (Note that while a well fed snake is more docile. It's generally a bad idea to handle them the 1st couple days after feeding.)

For an adult, every couple of months would suffice. Though sometimes they go for several months without eating. Balls are notorious for going 'off their feed'. That's usually because they are stressed in some way, such as the tank temp being off, or placement of tank.any number of things. Work with your snake and watch him to determine his personality, likes & dislikes. That will help you keep him on a regular feeding time-table.

I'd say too much, but how long and how old is the snake?
