though s/he doesnt look fat, it will be if you feed that much once a week. how often do you feed? 5-7 days is pretty good and i would downsize the mouse size. but if you really want to have a humongous king, then that is what you do.

I've been feeding my 6 month old Hypo Brooksi 2 fuzzies every 4 days as of late, and she seems to be doing fine. As long as she defecates in between feeding periods, I feed her again. She's not aggressive at all (except to the mice, she broke ones neck the other day, quite a sight for me to see.)

If your snake doesn't want to eat, it won't eat. Or maybe it will. I'm pretty sure they know when to say no though.
