Less frequent feeding with larger food items would be my advice. Digesting food requires quite a bit of energy from a snake so even though the total weight may be the same, the constant state of digesting is much harder when feeding smaller more frequent meals. I only have 4 snakes, and have only owned a total of 5 in my lifetime so my hands on experience is somewhat limited compared to some, but my two 4 y/o retics seem to have much better sense of when they should be full than compared to my 4 y/o burm. She never fails to charge the glass even after what should be a very large meal. I've never seen if she will eventually get full and refuse, but she sure doesn't act like it.
