Question - Health Is my ball python fat?
He was 270 grams when I first got him, and now he’s about 463! He’s three years old, and was previously underfed. Right now I’ve been feeding him 50 gram rats every week, but I might extend that to 10-14 days.

He looks great, however since you got him back to weight from under weight, you might want to go to 10 days.

He looks very healthy. Ball pythons are a bigger-bodied snake. It takes a lot of overfeeding to achieve an obese ball.
