If that is some kind of slight towards how I feed my animals, then you can come out and say it. I do not think that offering another food type after a month is any kind of problem. It is by no means force feeding or power feeding. It is making a food source available for the snake to take or not. Pet or not has nothing to do with it. So this idea of the snake eating "more than the snake even want to" is a non-argument. The snake takes the food of its own accord. As I said, if it then refuses, we wait it out just like any other fast. I do not appreciate any insinuation that I am power feeding my animals to get them to size.
