I too copied and pasted...
Lol, power feeding is basically forced bulking on the snake. My female Retics get a touch more than what is recommended but it is never excessive and if they did not want the extra then they would not eat it. NEVER power feed arboreals like Morelia viridis or Corallus caninus, it is a major detriment to health, scrub pythons also do better with a bit less despite their voracious appetites...my adult female eats monthly. Terrestial and semi-arboreal python species like retics, balls, carpets, etc... are generally fine with a little extra and will grow to breeding age faster, obviously; however, continuous chain feeding is definitely not going to end well.
