have now got some new photos of Toby to help with his sizing. Hope they are ok. Do you all think extra food may stop his aggression at feeding times, would you recomend 2 fuzzies once a week or 1 every 3/4 days.
Thank you

You shouldn't feed them every 3-4 days, as they will still be digesting the previous meal. There is a feeding guide here, taken from a previous thread- which goes on weight.
1 Pinkie (2-3g) every 5-6 days (Snake = 4-15g)
2 Pinkies (3-4g) every 5-6 days (Snake = 16-23g)
Small Fuzzy (5-7g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 24-30g)
Fuzzy (7-9g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 30-50g)
Fluff (9-12g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 51-90g)
Small Adult (14-20g) every 7 days (Snake = 91-170g)
Adult (20-30g) every 7-x days (Snake = 170+ |

if you've just moved him up to 2 fuzzies per feed leave 7 days, then after the next 2 fuzzy feed leave him 6 days then after the next feed go down to a 5 day interval
with a full tummy he'll hopefully be a happier snake  |

Is there also a way to work out how much weight of mouse you should be feeding a snake by the weight of the snake? Kellog is 700g and I think he is wanting more...not much of a bump and doesnt settle straight after feeding. Know there is a way to do it according to width of snake but wondered if there was anything more accurate once they got to his size. He is fed every 10 days.

definately try him with two and id follow the pattern gp suggested with feeding, leaving for 7, feeding, leaving for 6 and then feeding and leaving for 5, it works really well at getting them used to a bigger meal over time
or you could alternate between 2 one feeding and 1 the next |
