I don't keep GTPs but I do keep other Morelia species. I agree with Slitherin on the feeding frequency. Every 4 days is too often for most snakes and especially a 3 y/o critter. I feed my carpets every 10-14 days during the summer and every 2-3 weeks in the winter. I'm not sure how large your GTP is but even an adult jumbo mouse might be too small. I'd advise offering more than one mouse or making the switch to rats.
