Ball python feeding questions?

I have a baby ball python that is about 1 1/2 months old. e is a great eater. I feed him every once a week. But I've heard of people feeding them once every 5 days. Will this help him grow? And help his hemipene grow? Because you can barely see them when I pop him. I had to have a breeder probe him for me to check the gender. I want to know the best and safest way to feed him ( how often). I plan on breeding him in the future.
