Do you mean my schedule ?
What I meant by "grown slow" is simply that I did not rush them to bring them up to size for breeding. Of course I didn't starve them. They got a "appr" sized meal about once the week. Skipping when in shed.
They did not reach breeding size in one year.
The only time I fed them more aggressively was when I decided to breed the females. Which they did without problem.
Appropriate size can mean many things of course.
I went by the girth of snakes bodies and rodents body, to try to match them up, erring on the smaller (rodent) size.
As adults they were fed about every 2 weeks, but by then most were on medium sized rats. Jag of course, will take large rats now, they disappear without a trace, LOL
I think "maintenance fed" can mean different things to different people. I use it as the opposite of power feeding (while definitely NOT underfeeding, either). I have shared a ton of pictures of all my animals, I don't think either looked small/skinny or fat. Jag is huge, but not fat either
