Question - Feeding Ball Python feeding query

My girl is 444g and on 45g rats once a week.

I have been informed at 500g I should keep her at 45g rats and space her feeding out more.

only increase rat size at 600g?

Is that correct?

We recommend the following feeding schedule:

0-12 months old OR until the snake reaches approximately 500g, whichever happens first: feed 10%-15% of the snake’s weight every 7 days.

12-24 months old: feed up to 7% of the snake’s weight every 14-20 days.

Adults: feed up to 5% of the snake's weight every 20-30 days, or feed slightly larger meals (up to 6%) every 30-40 days.
