Wow that is amazing.
One thing my vet mentioned to me was not only the amount snakes eat in captivity but the lack of exercise the have in captivity. In the wild snakes spend alot of energy searching for safe havens, food and running for their lives. In captivity they spend no energy at all for any of these necessities and obesesity can become fairly common place.
I think we as caretakers spend too much thought worrying about not eating than eating more than needed. I have a girl that is definately on the chunky side and now I realize the dangers involved.
In my opinion a snake not eating for what we might think are long periods is probably better off than one that gets feed large items weekly.

Thanks for sharing this very important piece of information.
I am not as worried for my one boy who is a crummy eater, because other than that he is healthy and lean.
