He did have a point though, I honestly didn't know exactly what power feeding was until he outlined it. While I can understand it being beneficial if it's a skinny, SKINNY snake that won't take appropriate sized meals, and you're slipping one in right behind a mouse, most snakes won't need the boost.



My snakes and the snakes I work with both go on and off their feed without any seeming rhyme or reason most times, so when they're willing to eat, they get as much as they want. I for one would like them to have as much weight on 'em as possible so that it's not a big deal if they skip a month (or four, as my female likes to do) of eating.
