BHB's Feeding Experiment

[Skiploder]

Did any of you see the results for BHB's feeding experiment?

The results were (in order of best performance) and correct me if I misheard:

1) 1 bigger than normal meal once a week
2) Standard meal with vitamins once a week.(This really surprised Brian)
3) Standard meal once per week (Control)
4) Smaller than normal meal twice a week

The difference between the largest and smallest snakes that were the same age was stunning.

I believe it was last weeks video so check it out if you haven't yet.

Now this was done on colubrids but I was wondering if pythons and other snake species would work that same way.

What do you guys think?

Many species of colubrid do not do well when fed large meals. They do very poorly in fact.

For example, various pituophis are notorious for being unable to handle bigger meals and do better on multiple small prey items.
