Power feeding VS "Frequent feeding"

[CloudtheBoa]

Feeding 3 times a week IS power feeding....and comes with all of the downfalls of power feeding. Such as premature death, obesity, and potential reproductive problems.

Assuming prey size and feeding frequency is correct, growth rate is really not a huge concern. If you're feeding too small of meals, increase the meal size. If you're feeding them less often than necessary, feed them a little more often, but I don't advise feeding more often than every 7 days. It's better (in the long run) that you allow a snake to grow at its own rate even if it's a bit slower than normal, than overfeed it to compensate.
