I have been seeing a lot of controversy lately regarding feeding. Some say feeding a prey item a little larger less often is fine, some say NO WAY to that, some say feed every week a smaller prey item, and some say NO WAY to that. ???? So when I see these things, I begin to think of snakes in the wild. They eat when an opportunity to eat comes along. And prey items just don't show up very week in the wild. Also, the size of the prey items isn't always going to be constant either...right? So, say a prey item comes along tha's a little bigger.....Is the snake going to say "well, that meal is just a little to big for me right now. I think I'l wait till something a little smaller comes along"...heck no! If it can be eaten, aren't they just going to eat it? I mean to survive they can't be too picky about the size and frequency of prey, right? i hardly doubt snakes would have survived and evolved to become what they are if they only opted to have that 1 med rat-sized prey once every week. I mean is offering your snake a larger prey item less often as "harmful" as people say? And what about feeding smaller prey more often????? Is that really healthy? Personally, Not every single one of my snakes accepts food offered every week. Sometimes, they'll eat every five days, and sometimes they refuse a meal for two weeks.I am not knocking anyone's chioce on how often or how big when it comes to feeding. I'm just wondering if one chioce is "better" or "healthier" over the other choice. Just my
