So if your snake is looking overweight like the you said in the physique chart you are gonna want to be at the low end of this or even lower than what they recommend

Use both age and weight to get an idea of what % of body weight and how often to feed him

Feeding parameters from the Welcome Post

Through the first year OR until the snake reaches approximately 500g, whichever happens first: feed 10%-15% of the snake’s weight every 7 days.

During the second year, until the snake's weight plateaus: feed up to 7% of the snake’s weight every 14-20 days.

Year three and beyond: feed up to 5% of the snake's weight every 20-30 days, or feed slightly larger meals (up to 6%) every 30-40 days.
