Should they be fed with that objective? I think no. While it is possible with some specimens, it is not with others. I have read the argument on this forum that if the female lived in the wild and could breed, it would. It would potentially do a lot of things "if" it were living the wild that may not be good for its health. Fall out of a tree for example. Get eaten or injured by another animal. In caring for them in captivity, we try to avoid stuff like that. Too much food is bad for a snake just like it is bad for any other animal.
