What? You have to feed them?
Food is always the number one issue and has been for the past 12 years I have been on here, from not eating to too small, to too big and it comes down to RESEARCH, I understand you can't know everything but those to me are the basic requirements when it comes to buying a new animal, sadly if people do not research a dog breed and see if it is suited for them are they really gonna research snakes and proper diet and understanding of metabolism
Some people do those research but do them in the wrong places (like pet stores) or Facebook, sometimes you just have to question everything , and pick the brain of people that you know have experience.
Maintenance feeding is not new either especially from large scale breeders, I can say that every animal I bought from a large scale breeder was maintenance fed and small compare to stuff I produce that were younger (and I do not overfeed because I do not believe in getting them big as fast as possible either).......I have said it before there is a just a middle.
Anyway same problem it was a decade ago and it will continue when really all you have to do is reach out to a breeder or someone with knowledge (not all will answer but some will) and pick their brain.
