Do not powerfeed. It will drastically shorten the lifespan on the snake. The only reason powefeeding is utilized is to get breeder females up to their large potential size earlier than normal so that they can breed at an earlier age. While it may work out well in the short run, the hog is probably doomed to have years cut off of its lifespan. Andy
