This part was under 'Feeding Frequency'

"Large bodied constrictors and vipers, such as Burmese pythons or diamondback rattlesnakes have a higher risk of becoming obese in captivity as a result of their slower metabolic rates. They should be fed once every 4-6 weeks, compared to desert tortoises and box turtles should be fed smaller amounts of concentrated meals daily. "
