I've got a female Hogg as well. She's a fantastic eater. I purposely feed a lil less, because snakes don't eat all the time in the wild. They are opportunistic hunters. However, I keep mass up, basically what you have done in terms of examining her body traits.
However, based on your description of feeding behavior, it is clear she is ready for another growth spurt, or going into one very soon. Mine did the same thing..one day she's eating fine..the next, she's wanting more food, more frequently, and she shed frequently, then it slowed down a bit and tapered.
Some people give one large meal, others smaller ones over the course of a day or two. I usually give one several rodents. If she's still hungry the next day or two, I will give her only 1-3 more. Usually 1 or two...then she quiets down and doesn't pace around thinking I'm going to feed her.
Great to see a pic of her
