Don't know the age but right at 3 feet. Been feeding him/her one large f/t mouse every seven days.
Here's the problem. And this subject of choices come up quite often on this forum.
Feed him at least a couple times per week. Or give him two mice at each meal. Better yet,,,,,(!!!!) offer food whenever the kingsnake is hungry and wants food. Which could be as ofetn as 2-3 days per week. Depends on the snake and how much BW he has to make up, stage of life, breeding season ect ect.
For a growing king such as your you should offer food and feed it as much as it will eat. Let the snake decide what and when it needs. They make decisions in nature and survive just fine.
I also hope you are using an undertank heat source so the snake can choose it temps as well! This is alo part of good husbandry that offers avalibe choices for the snake to make.
