I'm all for experimentation if it doesn't hurt the animal, but it still seems just a tiny bit like power-feeding to me. However, as others have pointed out, snakes are opportunistic feeders and if they could eat that much in the wild, they surely would. And honestly, just how much maturity does a male have to have to start producing viable sperm? Females, on the other hand, DO need to be much more mature because breeding takes a lot out of them physically. I am interested in seeing how this plays out in the end -- affecting longevity, etc.
Thanks for the link!
