Shappire,
Yes it will grow longer (until it reaches it's max genetic length). Shouldn't get fat. If you are feeding one small or medium rat every 3-4days no prob. If its as big as the animal could phycially choke down (like a 450 gram rat, lol) every 3 then yes you have a problem. Snakes are not like dogs, they will not eat, barf it up and go right back to eating more, barfing it up, right back to eating more, until the food is gone. They are more like cats, they eat until they are satisfied then that is it. Can't make them eat you know (sans force feeding, but if you force feed a heathy and feeding snake just to add more weight you should be shot).
Like Jeff F. said, feed 'em as much as they'll take. Just keep them warm.
BTW my "problem feeder" (live only) female just ate another 142 gram F/T rat. Anouther animal gaining good weight. 400+ grams in extra body weight in the last 19 days.
