I dont know how much my royal weighs but from what ive been told he hatched in about april this year and he takes 1 weaner rat every 8 days, does that sound about right?

Just had a look at his piccies, he's a lovely looking boy

He's only on the small weaner rats but he eats them no problem... He is quite chunky tho lol! He only misses a feed when he's shedding.

I think a lot of people (me included!) use this feeding guide:

Blackecho's feeding guide - feed 10/15% of the snake's weight.
0-400g - feed every 5 days
400-800g feed every 7 days
800-1200g every 10 days
1200g+ every 14 days

He was hatched in April and is already on weaner rats at 8 months old?! Wow he must be a chunky monkey, mine is on weaners and he is two years old (ish)

I will be getting some scales, ive only had him 8 weeks but he's grown a considerable amount...

Depends on how big he is. The rule is feed nothing thicker than the snake and feed 10-15% of the bodyweight providing it doesn't break the first rule. Best bet is get some scales.
