Hello,

Did you face problems with over-feeding? What happened? Did they stop to eat for a long time? Problem with breeding?
I have heard that obese ball pythons are too fat to breed, females won't ovulate. Did you experiment it?
We also see a lot of big mamas, huge females (usually normal females, I don't know why, because morphs aren't smaller)

What is the fastest grow you got? Usually, it takes 2 to 3 years for a female before to reproduce.
But I guess some may breed at 18 months. As said Stefan Broghammer in his book, in the wild, there are only gravid female, or yearlings. If it took 3 years, we should meet intermediate sizes in the wild.

Males can grow fast too. I have a GHI male that weights 65 grammes when I bought him 2 weeks ago. He's a great eater. He jumps on it. I feed him every 4 days with hoppers. I am wondering what may happen if I give him as much food he wants, let's say every 2 days. Did some of you ever tried this?

I think it is not a good way to proceed. If long time breeders respect that schedule, there should be a reason. They aren't stupid
Pythons teach you patience.
But I am interested by theses points. Usually, we hear a lot about picky eaters not huge eaters.

Thanks for your replies.
