I'd just like to point out that if we're making snake feeding anaologous with human food consumption, we aren't talking about obesity or weight control in adults, we're talking about food durring critical growth periods of children.It just like with a human, I could eat 6 meals a day and grow more than someone eating 2 day. The person eating 2 meals a day is still healthy, they just arent as big.
Yes, overfeeding your child will make them fat and unhealthy. Underfeeding will make them skinny and unhealthy.
Notice I am saying nothing about the snake, merely stating that your analogy is pretty shaky and sounds suspicious to me.
I love Reticulated Pythons. I adore them. To me they are one of the most beautiful snakes in the world. Yet I know I am incapable of coping with a giant snake.Just feed you snake an appropriate sized meal once a week. Genetics will do the rest. You really cannot control how big your snake grows. You are talking about starving your snake which i find pretty irresponsible.
Try looking into dwarf retics.
I'm negotiating with someone right now, actually, who has a male Super Dwarf. I want him.A Retic in a size I can handle!
No shame in admitting I'm not up for a fullsized Retic.![]()
