Do I decide when my baby ball eats, or do I let her decide?

[EL-Ziggy]

I'm not planning to breed her but I want to get her as big and long as she can get without getting fat or compromising her health. I don't need it to happen fast but I'm a bit worried about stunting her growth by not feeding her enough. Can that happen..?

Thanks for all the help everyone

You won't stunt her growth at all with a healthy, consistent feeding schedule. I feed my young snakes somewhat liberally but I'd never power feed any of my animals. If you're feeding your girl a decent sized meal every 5-7 days she'll do just fine.
