I don't think there have been any controlled long-term studies done on whether this would be detrimental to a snake, or not.

Ball Pythons can live up to 40 / 50 years from what I've learned. Who's to say what we do in captivity will make them live longer , or shorter ? Normally I would say, we prolong life, IF we keep them responsibly.

I believe it has been established that a snakes system goes into "over drive" during digestion. The organs work much harder.
Personally, I wouldn't want to put that kind of strain on organs non-stop. I'm sure in nature they eat whenever they find something. Sometimes that could be every day, sometimes once the month. But..I don't think they digest nonstop for months at a time.

That said, everyone has to do what makes sense to them, and what they are comfortable with. I prefer to feed once the week, adults even less. Back when I had many Ball Pythons , they ALL grew pretty quickly, but they never had that "fat" stuffed sausage look to them either. They ate regularly, sometimes taking a week or 2 off, that was it.

But thats what worked for me, and I don't criticize others. There just isn't any hard proof either way. Follow your gut.

Even though I buy some morphs this time around, I only buy them for their beauty and because I enjoy them. They are not investment snakes, I don't plan on breeding (though I might). I don't worry about what kind of money I will get before the morphs prices fall into the basement.

Breeders have good reason to grow/breed snakes as fast as they can, or they could possibly loose money on them. They also don't want to harm the snakes, of course.

Again, do your research, come to your own conclusions, and do what you feel comfortable with In this hobby there isn't just black and white, lots of gray

No offense to anyone !!!
