"I feed all my snakes once a week, so the bigger snakes definietly consume more food (by weight) than the smaller snakes.

And I also brumate all my snakes for 4-5 months


Bigger snake equals bigger prey item....so you don't feed your younger snakes more often? Gotcha, now are most of your snakes especially holdbacks breedable in the 3rd year or sooner with that type of regimine? Even with a 4 to 5 month cooling?

I actually cooled all snakes this past year, holdbacks came out of cooling with a better feeding response than previous years. And seem to grow at a more rapid pace. No recording of weights just by visual and that can be way off. Maybe that is a good study also....
