Oh my goodness! First, your son is a handsome little boy! I love those curls of hair! The snake is awesome as well!
Unfortunately I don’t know anything about Burmese pythons other than the obvious, and that is their size! But you will have advice from others. That I do know!
All the best to you and your “son’s snake!”

Nice pic! From what I see in the pic your burm looks to be at a very healthy weight to me. Burms are usually larger in girth to the same length retic, that is just there body type. However it is all too easy to overfeed these eager eaters. Now that it is over a year old you can for sure switch to larger rabbits every 2-4 weeks depending on size of the rabbit offered, I know a lot of keepers feed roughly every 3 weeks a larger(not huge)meal. You also can continue feeding smaller xxl rats and such weekly, it’s usually just a cost issue as well. It’s cheaper and easier to feed a adult every few weeks then weekly. The choice is yours, it looks great and you can continue feeding smaller meals weekly, or upsize with some rabbits every few weeks. I would probably feed rabbits, if it was my snake especially as it gets larger still. Thanks for the nice pic.
