No, not at all. You could pull out any female in my shop that laid eggs this season and you wouldn't be able to tell that she had lost 1/3 of her body weight a couple of months ago. People are amazed that the size of many of my big girls and how little they actually eat. I really believe that a majority of the ball pythons in captive collections are severely over fed.

I think there are some ball pythons that are just fussy ... big meals, small meals, doesn't matter, they're a PITA no matter what you do ... but I've found that with small meals it's actually easier to get all of them to eat very regularly.
