I bring up the horses, dogs, and people because they can all suffer ill effects from over eating. A horse can founder, a dog can bloat. While the ball isn't going to have those issues it could regurg and over time become obese and have liver issues among other things.

I stand by a snake can be overfed.
Any examples of a ball regurging because of overfeeding?

You keep saying "snake". I agree, you can over feed snakes. I do not believe its possible (in 99% of cases) to over feed a ball python.

Do you have any examples of breeding size ball pythons starving themselves to death? Or any examples of a snake eating itself to death?

You give an example of feeding only once a week as an appropriate schedule. When it comes to balls, schedules are only for the keepers, imo.
