A lot of the "big" breeders tend to feed smaller, multiple items at longer time intervals, which tends to keep them feeding more consistantly.

Feeding 3x a week is going to cause them to "fill up" and go off feed for periods of time to compensate.

A ball python that eats more consistently over time will grow faster than a ball python who eats more frequently for short spans of time.

Why rush it?

Hope that helps.
