wow! got lots of feedback on this one thanks..
i first read powerfeeding on a breeders site. he talked about feeding several smaller items more often. every 4 or 5 days. rather than 1 larger item oce a week. the smaller items are easier to digest. the snakes take in nutrients faster and grow faster.
the reason it appealed to me was the size factor. i've heard and read that the first two years is the time for the most growth. why not try to get them to the largest potential size that i can. not obese, but larger in overall size. powerfeeding for the first year or two and then to a maintenance diet otherwise they get chunky 
i hear many people talk about how they used to have 8 and 9 ft bulls, but i don't see them. like i said before, it's not about money for me. why not see how big they can reach if there is no harmfull side effects? just curious...
