I am stunned at his size.

This snake's growth rate is the result of power feeding, that is why he is so large. Yes a male and a snake of his age can get this large when fed in this manner. A BRB of his age should average below 200 grams when fed properly. Of course, snakes grow at their own pace, but that much of a difference simply comes down to feeding.
I thought OP was going to take our advice to slow down, but it seems they've gone back to overfeeding their snake. They went from feeding every 10-12 days now back to every 7-10 days, when they should be further reducing their snake's food intake.
A weight gain of 189 grams in 2 months is highly abnormal and really worrying.
