    No one is suggesting over feeding dude.. to the original poster, snakes care about their size because of predators in the wild. Feed your snake till he stops eating. Your not stupid I can tell. And even if excellerated growth is good for keepers... who's complaining? Do you want an undersized snake?

    Okay, well all I can do is give it a try. About the seperate feeding container, I'll stick to feeding him in a seperate enclosure. It's easier for me and he doesn't mind.

    Will do, just getting used to the forums. Looking forward to some knowledge. I eventually want to breed him, the pet place had him listed as a Het Pied, idk if that's BS or not. They had pastels and pinstripes, even a spider. They were super overpriced though. Out of all the 3 Het Pieds he looked the coolest to me, nice and bright and a great pattern. Anyway, I'd love to produce some piebalds, especially for my first time breeding. :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: but that won't be for a little while.

    Edit: Censoring...? For reals...

    He told you he doesn't mind?

    How is it easier? Easier than dangling prey in front of a hide? I doubt it.

    The vast number of members with several snakes in their collection feed in the cages and advise to do so as well. This information has come from years of experience not guessing what their snake wants.

    It would take an unreasonable amount of time and equipment to feed even my small collection in separate containers.

    I would advise against feeding in a separate container. This increases mistaken feeding time bites.
