I did a little math. At your current growth rate based on your figures, if the gain holds steady that's 243 grams a year. (Based on approx .67 grams average gain per day). That's a robust growth rate. So I'd suggest feeding small mice, not medium. Allow him to fast in shed. Make sure you get him out to get some exercise, and make sure your temps are good.

Just by way of info, I feed my currently 277 gram two year old a 15 gram mouse every 8 days. She's currently growing at a rate of .59 grams per day average. However I expect her to slow down over the winter and will adjust her feedings to 10 to even 12 days. She speeds up in summer and slows down in winter. I don't like to feed any corn snake less than every 14 days except for shed so if needed I feed smaller prey.

I can give you some numbers, but the truth is it is a combination of judgement, measurement and reading your snake's needs. Hope this makes some sense.
