 Slow Feeding......

I have a male albino Burm and right now hes about 27 inches. I know since he’s a male he wont get as big as a female, but what should I be feeding him to ensure he doesn’t grow too fast? I want him to be a big snake but not around 20 feet.

Right now he eats about 1 small frozen rat every ten days.
Any suggestions as to how to feed him for slow and steady growth?

Every ten days is fine. Growth will come regardless of course. But if you feed a good meal(slight swell once eaten) but not a big meal you can typically expect steady growth; but not big growth spurts. Like when feeidng bigger meals more frequently.
