i dont know: take it slow for now, or go right to a powerfeed scedule? im now a bit torn. she needs to get over the hill and into stability, but then when she is stable i guess some powerfeeding for a while is in order, to get her to normal proportions.
What's "powerfeeding"?
Lucifer Sam, Siam cat...

That cat's something I can't explain...
that is when you go for a food scedule that is quite a bit heavier than usually advised to get a higher than usual weight gain over time. like when you want a ball to breed sooner, or when you have a BP that was at 300 grams 8 months ago and is today at 112 grams while it should be around 400+ at least. an example of powerfeeding would be 20% of body weight in food offered every 5 days. done outside of the context of breeding, or recovery from starvation, it would lead to a really fat and overweight snake over time.
so powerfeeding is to go above a usual feed scedule when it comes to the amount of food, to a degree that it would lead to an obese snake if you would just keep it up for no reason.
But i already backpedaled, i would be all for powerfeeding this girl up to normal levels if and only if we would know that the internal organs are all fine, which we do not know. So i revised and said to take it slow and see if the BP does fine. and if she does fine, and digestion works and the organs work, maybe powerfeed her from 170-400 grams.
