Just like a horse, dog, or person can over eat so can a snake. Some are just pigs. Both my gtp and ball act like they want second rats but they only get what is right for them.
Comparing snakes to horses, dogs and people, is like comparing lollipops to bath tubs. If you wanna take that stance, then i'll counter with: well people have different metabolisms, why can't snakes? Same goes for dogs. Not every GSD/retriever/apbt grows EXACTLY the same. My hypo is almost twice the size of my lesser even tho i got them at the same time. Shes not fat by any means and my lesser isn't skinny by any means. We're talking about only bp's here, other species are different.
