Susan Donoghue and Melissa Kaplan said most reptiles will not eat when they are not hungry unlike humans, dogs and a lot of mammals which will groge on food when it is available even when they are full. Their are some reptiles that will overeat like Savannah monitors, and Burmese python. It's hard to overfeed reptiles especially the young ones that are still growing. But some do get quite fat evidently from eating more than others even if they are the same species that are not known to groge, so you should still watch if your pet is getting fat. Being cold blooded means that they don't have to eat as much mammals, and therefore, there is no need to eat a huge meal everytime like mammals do. Examples: my male ball python will sometime go almost a year without eating during the mating season and resume feeding again in Febuary. Sometimes a crocodile can go a year without eating if it has a good meal.
