Opinions on this feeding

[SPJ]

Mediums? WOW ... I don't even feed my 3500+ gram girls mediums ... the largest rat I ever feed a ball python is what I call a "small small" right in between a weaner and a regular small ... I've got a lot of girls with AWESOME size on them ... they don't need anything more.

OMG! That is what some of my 2006 ones are eating.

That's enough food?

Even if the rat is 1/4 of there size? I'm asking because I recently obtained a large adult female. So far I have fed her 1 meal and it was slightly bigger than her girth (I thought that was the rule ) and it was a large rat!!!

The big girl in this picture gets nothing larger than a "small small" rat, ever ... and the rest of the girls that big and some even bigger are the same ... ask anyone on here that's been to my shop, I've got big healthy balls.

Do you try to breed larger males with the larger females? or does that not matter?

I selectively breed for the best possible appearance that I can achieve in my offspring ... I spend an incredible amount of time finding the right boy for the right girl ... size of the male and female never play into it for me ... as long as they are ready and healthy, it doesn't matter ... but then again, I don't go trying to breed 300 gram males ... when my animals are put into a breeding program, they are more than capable of handling the animal(s) I pair them with.

The male in that picture is over 850 grams I think? ... Closer to 1000? ... just for perspective.

In the last couple months I've moved to the Wysocki feeding method (feeding just a small rat once a week) myself. I see much more consistent feeding. My temperatures are spot on and nobody goes on long fasting sessions anymore.

It's going to work very well for you ... wait til you see how it goes for a full year ... It took some convincing when I was first told about feeding small (I used to feed my big girls jumbos, 2 at a time and they'd fast 1/2 the year) but after 4 or 5 years, I'm a believer.

ummmm....should I even tackle these comments?? Once we work out the details of trading my wife for some cool morphs, as currently being discussed in the off-topic cafe, she will be happy to verify the claim of having the "biggest balls you've ever seen" upon her arrival.
