I'm just wondering because when I got my fire and pastel a couple years back the breeder told me to feed them like 2-3 hoppers every 3 days. Then someone had come in with a fire that they had bought from him and he told me that it's the size a snake should be at 2-3 months (it looked about 500g).

I brought up the risk of it causing the snakes to be obese and how it leads to a shorter life span, and he told me that he'd rather have a female breed for him sooner than live to be 20 years old.
