Do you think there might be any link between fasting ball pythons and being overfed?
How long does it take a ball python to digest an "appropriately" size meal?

What does that length tell us about the metabolism of a ball python? What does the speed of metabolism tell us about their dietary requirements?

If a psammophylax acutus - a fairly active African colubrid - digests a meal in under 48 hours and a ball python which is fairly inactive takes 10 to 14 days, what logical conclusion could we draw from that?
