I find people who power feed, are in it only for the money, do not care for the snakes health, and just want it closer to breeding weight to get more offspring. Its unhealthy and not only can it shorten their life span, but why? Must fat females will lay slugs, and fat males make lazy breeders. It can shut their system down and personally, if I find out that a breeder power feeds ANY of their snakes I WILL NOT buy from them.
