OVERFED???????



Maybe just my opinion, maybe nobody else wants to say it but SLOW down dude. Just because they will eat it does not mean they should be allowed to.



In the wild snakes are opportunistic feeders, may go weeks or months between meals and when they do find food, they will eat all they can.



In captivity, they can easily be exposed to much more food and much more frequently than in the wild. We have to monitor their intake and the consensus of opinion is they seem to be healthier long term if raised slower.
