i would say depends on the size of the snake and how big of a lump the mouse leaves.

A lot of people feed more but I personally beleive that once they get to adult sized prey they really only need one adult mouse a week. And actually as they get older one mouse every 10 to 14 days would be sufficient.
my opinion only

One prey item of the proper size is all you should need to feed him and once a week is plenty. The only time I could see feeding more is if you had a female that needed a little fattening up either before or after breeding and egg laying.

after he gets done. It's kind of like people, it takes twenty minutes or so for the feeling of fullness to hit after eating. We can still eat during that twenty minutes, but it is not healthy for us. And that is why after eating that whole dozen Krispy Kreme donuts, you feel kind of sick.
