I hope in the future there can be a legit study done on it so keepers know for sure if they are causing harm to their animals.

Also, I never said that the double feeding method WASN'T power feeding. It certainly is however there are other ways to 'force' a snake to eat way more than is necessary for a healthy growth rate. If someone was feeding a 500g snake a 70g rat every three days for months and months, I'd consider that power feeding. Feeding a female that is developing follicles as much as she will take for a few weeks isn't.
I have yet to say that you're wrong. I simply said the way I define power feeding is different. I've come to the conclusion that if we all do the same things, we could a potentially be doing the same wrong things. I encourage disagreement in practices.

I don't think a study will be done, it's kind of like formally testing medications effect on pregnant women and developing fetuses. It's just...not going to be okay, haha.
