I'm not so certain it was purposefully perpetuated... but yeah, I'm starting to see a correlation between people trying to beat the market and the aggressive feeding practices that have become standard in the hobby. With breeding BPs becoming more an more popular, it might be useful to set out to produce separate feeding guidelines between pet keepers, hobby breeders, and full time businesses, as well as enforce the idea that guidelines and generalizations are just that, and that the needs of individual snakes and their health should trump them.
