HELLO
This is the only thing that Ihave to know to be totally ready to keep a burmese phyton.
How many food is necesry for a 90kg (200lb) burmese?
Doy you thing that with 3 7kg giant rabbits montly is enogh or is better every 2 weeks?.
GOODBYE AND THANKS.

I have found that large burms do better if fed less sparingly than too much (like most burms). These are big, lazy snakes at this size and obesity is usually the biggest concern. I feed my large burms one or two appropriately sized prey items each month. For a 200 lb. burm I would feed 1-2 10-12 pound rabbits each month. Although they can take much larger prey, the larger the prey, the better the chances for something to go wrong (like regurging if the temps drop for some reason). Also, if you handle this animal often, you don't want a 50 pound pig sitting in his stomach.

HELLO
Thank you. So is enough with a 10 pounds rabbit montly??.
GOD BYE

It should be fine. Every python is different and some have higher metabolisms than others. If you scroll up, you'll see an undernourished burmese python; that snake needs more than one meal per month but most healthy burms given proper conditions will do fine on 1-2 meals per month.
