    Actually for a good steady growth you want to feed an appropriate size weekly or bi-weekly and slow down as they grow.

    Once over fed your BP will stop eating to catch up, you want an animal that eat with consistency not one that fast for 6 months

    Why do you need your male to get big fast? Breeding? If so keep in mind that a male should be lean and trim, larger overweight males = poor breeders.

    If you only want a big BP than you should consider a female.

    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Yup, almost all of the big breeders will confirm; big chunky boys get lazy and they don't get the job done half as well as the nice trim guys. Just follow the growth of the snake, it will grow as it needs without you having to rush it along.
