I'm on mobile so it may not be the right pic but the second last for me is my taiwan beaut ratsnake, she's about 5' and a bit over a year old, she should hit about 9'

Being at least somewhat arboreal she's very strong and can be a bit feisty but as long as she stays fed she's handle able, she takes 4-5 large adult mice a week and will be bumping her to small rats soon.

I think you are power feeding your snake. No way should it be that big in only a year and I don't think 3-4 mice a week is by any means a good or safe idea.
At 3-4 mice she doesn't even have a bump on her stomach, and being very active snakes with a naturally high growth rate and metabolism (her size being average for her age compared to other taiwan beauty's) they take a lot of food. She's out cruising every day. This would be far too much food for a corn snake or the like but active Asian ratsnakes require more food to stay at a proper weight
