My bigger girl can and will gladly eat whenever I put a rodent in her tank (except she won't touch live, but I don't mind that!). Because of this, I do have to keep an eye on what I feed her when. She had a big meal week a few weeks ago, when my tiny baby girl kept refusing her meals, and, reluctant to waste a feeder, I handed them over to Nessie. She probably ate 3 tiny meals in a two week period, which kept her pretty full until a few nights ago, at which point she began roaming for a meal. Today I'm picking her up a proper sized meal for her to get her back on her normal weekly schedule.
There is ALWAYS such a thing as overfeeding, with any creature on this earth. It's our job as responsible keepers to make sure our animals don't come to unnecessary harm, and keeping them from obesity that can lead to major health issues is just one of those things. Am I saying an extra meal here and there is gonna kill em? No, not at all, and if they'll take it ,let em have it, because we all know that hunger strikes are common for these guys. But keeping meals in moderation and making sure it's a relatively sized prey for their mass is a really important part of what we do.
