I have a couple additional questions concerning this:

1. With the increased feeding when they are young does it affect the snakes long term growth rates?

(With this I mean if you feed one snake 2 times a week and it gets to 500 grams and then you have another snake that was only fed once a week at 500 grams and now you switch then to a regular once a week feeding do either of these snakes exhibit faster growth than the other while going into sub adult hood?)

2. Is it still classified as power feeding if you are offering smaller prey than the snake can reasonably take? Pinky rats instead of fuzzy rats?

3. Has any noticeable difference been seen between males and females who have been fed using this practice?

The reason I ask this is we recently purchased two (1.1) baby Mojave's from a smaller breeder and he was trying to feed them on an every 3 day schedule. The female had three meals and the male 2 meals before we got them. We have kept them on the three day schedule with the intention of dropping them back to 4-5 day schedule around 300 grams then every week at 600 grams. These are definitely keepers in our collection, but I just want to make sure I am not doing something that is going to have long term affects on them.
