I personally think a lot of it is genetics, but I really wanted to see what everyone else thought about it... and another thing that might play a part in it is how long they are with the breeders as babies, being fed small maintenance meals. Do you guys think it affects them long term from that? Or does it depend on how long they were being fed that way? Or is it all just genetics...?

How does everyone feel about what prey is best for various sizes? That's one that has been stumping me, because everyone says an "appropriate" sized meal, but I'm curious to see if everyone's "appropriate" size is the same? I feel like my idea of that is maybe a little larger? And maybe that's because I keep larger species that eat larger meals...?

And as alice had said, I'm curious to see what some of the breeders say that have been working with balls for many years now...

Again, any input or opinions are welcome. I really want to see what everyone thinks...
