Does the theory that male BPs need less food apply exclusively to breeder animals and not pets? I don’t breed snakes, but when it comes to pets, I don’t think feeding a medium rat every 2 weeks would be an issue for any adult BP (male or female). They can definitely survive on small rats but I’d hardly consider a medium rat every fortnight over feeding. I take a more liberal, generous, approach to feeding my snakes. They get small, medium, large, and occasionally XL sized meals. As long as they have the proper heat and time to digest their meals, and they get a bit of exercise, they should grow into big, healthy, and strong animals.
