Next size up or more often?

Recently my corn snake's been growing like the clappers! We got him a new cage in the summer, and because it was second hand we didn't have a size choice so it was a bit big for him. Now in the space of about 3 months he's completely grown into it.

Right now he's on one small mouse a week and it's not really looking to be enough. He's become really broad aswell. I was wondering whether it'd be better to feed him the same size twice a week or go up to feeding him the next size up once a week.
 
I put mine up a size as soon as they have the girth for it.

Remember as you increase mouse size, you should decrease the frequency of the feeds. I usually go from 1 small mouse every 7 days, to 1 medium mouse every 10 days.
 
I wouldn't feed an adult more often than once a week. It's cheaper to just increase the mouse size, if it's available to you.
