Yep. As much as we'd like to "fix" everything we see everyone else doing wrong...really, all we can do is make a suggestion, and live our lives as the best example we can. Each and every one of us make choices whether we want to learn lessons the easy way or the hard way.

Thats from the Ball Python Manual, written by Tracey and David Barker (VPI)

I usually feed her 1 large adult mouse, every 7 days, which that mouse is about 35-40 grams in wieght. The ones im going to feed 4 times a week are like 8-10 grams in weight, so thats kind of less. I was told, and know first hand its better to have small meals more frequent, then large meals.

BTW, i havent even began to feef this pattern yet...

Good thing... Hope you don't start.

Not a good idea at all. I guess your friend will learn when the snake just stops eating because it is stuffed full or it startes to regure them back up. In my hopes, I hope the first happens to the snake, NOT the second!
