What is considered power feeding?

[Simple Man]

So then explain why snakes will try to eat things so large that they end up dying. Sure most snakes will turn down food if it is offered too often. But some will and in those cases I would consider this power feeding. I have a snake that eats small meals more frequently. That isn't power feeding but if large meals are fed too frequently then the results are the same as if you forced the snake to eat the rat.

I was talking about when a big snake tries to eat a deer or something and ends up splitting down te middle. Some snakes eyes are much. Much bigger than their stomach.

In my opinion you can't compare a wild animal with a captive one. There are so many unknown variables in wild animals that they are not relevent to this discussion.

I also don't believe there is anything wrong with having a different opinion. If you kept the posts relevent to the topic of captive ball python feeding schedules I think it would be more helpful. At least my opinion is just based on my personal experience with my own ball pythons.

Kind Regards,
