As i said my new addition weighs 1200grams and looks like she needs to lose some,is it best to keep to normal size meals less often or just smaller meals at normal times. |

Luka, one of my Calis, is 1200 grams but not really overweight, she's just HUGE for her breed. I feed her a rat weaner every 2 weeks and her weight remains stable with that. She'd eat more if I let her though. |

I would say either would be fine- as long as she's losing it it doesn't matter how you diet her 
With Trilby, we just reduced her feeds to once a fortnight though. She's lost quite a bit, but is still a massive beast |

i was just thinking the same about the fat content of rats,maybe a couple of mice a fortnight? |

It may have, but if the snake is used to being fed a rat weaner each week then when it goes down to once a fortnight it should still lose plenty of weight |

Hmm....Would the rat weaner have more fat on it than a large mouse? |

Sounds like a plan to me |
