In the wild a ball python survives.

You want them to thrive in your care!

Feeding larger than the largest point causes strain and stress on their internal organs and is usually uncomfortable.

Just because it's capable of eating something that large, doesn't mean it should.
You want your snake to live a long healthy life, that is not a way to go about it.


EDIT: John could you tell me why you feed your males every 2 weeks? I'm just curious. :]
Your method is very knowledgeable and wise. Rather be safe then sorry.
