    Is there such thing as overfeeding your ball pythons?

    I do not have any examples. It is fact that if a living creature does not eat it will eventually die. Then on the flip side overeating which leads to obesity and other health issues will cause a earlier death than a healthy specimen of the same age. The time this may take could be a long time but the cause of death is still food related.

    I'm not saying is common or a growing problem. I'm just saying it is possible.

    Trying to get a mature ball alittle heavy for breeding is very different than trying to get a immature ball big enough to breed before they should.
    They all have different metabolisms. You mentioned a gtp before. Most people only feed them like every 3 weeks, right? Then you have cody talking retics, saying they get a medium rat every 4 days lol. Balls, respectively, have their own metabolisms too. And with the category of ball pythons, they all have their own individual metabolisms.

    Well yea... Eventually the monkey will type out romeo and juliet... If you don't have any examples then its safe to assume it barely ever happens. Maybe its never happened if there aren't any examples?

    Ok, "possible". It's also "possible" i could hook up with Kate Upton. Both situations have such a minuscule chance of happening that the point is moot, imo. Why bother mentioning it if you can't even prove its ever happened? Like i said, maybe it hasn't.
