I'm just wondering if feeding prey that is a bit too big for the snake might actually dull it's predator/prey responses. Just thinking it through in my mind, if an animal is given overly large prey it would need longer to digest anyways and then might react slower to more prey as it's instinct is there's big prey around, why react by aggressively feeding. If it's used to smaller prey, I would think (in my limited knowledge on this topic) that an animal would be more alert and prey driven to get what it needs weekly from this smaller prey source. Also, animals that tend to be overfed (any animal really) seems to eventually get lazy and picky about it's food.
