    It's not a race you don't feed those animals everyday, you feed them an appropriate size meal every 5 to 7 days up until they are 500 grams and once a week after they reach that point without ever feeding anything larger than a 150 grams rat to an adult female.

    Breeding is not only about weight it's also maturity and proportion.

    BP are overfed in captivity and fatty liver disease is a reality.

    If you want to feed everyday to get your female as big as possible as fast as possible, what you will get is an animal that will fast to catch up, will be at risk and will likely slug out.

    There is a BIG difference between a nice plum female that is mature and an immature female that is overweight.

    Grow your female slow and steady and be patient, if you don't have the patient it takes do do so this is not the hobby for you.
