None of my adult het albino or het pied females had any kind of problems with eating ... they are all eating machines ... that is a bad stereo type that is floating around the internet ... a het pied or het albino is no more likely to shut down than a normal female at around 900 grams ... if you work with ball pythons in enough numbers, it's easy to see ... if you ever get the chance to take a trip to Pete Kahls place, he has a TON of huge het pied girls that eat like crazy!
