When BPs beg, do you give in?
My snakes have this habit of begging. They are fed, and if they are still hungry, they will sit with their faces up against the side of the tub until I give them more, even if I've given them plenty. I think they're using me

It's hard, but I rarely do. They normally get a good meal.
Here's Elenore, my Boa begging.

The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
1.2 Coastal Carpet Pythons
Mack The Knife, 2013
Lizzy, 2010
Etta, 2013
1.1 Jungle Carpet Pythons
Esmarelda , 2014

Please excuse the spelling in my posts. Auto-Correct is my worst enema.

LOL I can't give in, because they get good-sized meals. Any more, and they'll regurg.
Cake is a nice and routine snake. After he eats his meal, he immediately goes into his hide for the next 48 hours LOL. 
I'm 100% sure that Vigil can just keep eating and eating until she kills herself, which I won't allow. <__<

This. My kids would do this. Although, Boots never begs. I wonder if a medium rat was enough

Depends. If it's one of the picky eaters or a snake that only eats live, absolutely. Otherwise, no way. They get plenty to eat anyway, haha.
