i was under the impression that the problem with power feeding was that the snakes muscle mass would outgrow its bone structure leaving a big brittle snake .... to combat that ive hurd breeders would give there BPs calcium suppliments among others to help the snake grow more robust .... ive never tried "power feeding" but my 8 month old female recently came off a feeding strike so im and looks a lil skinny so im gunna try to up her intake ... if she wants to
