Give them what they need, not what you think they need.
At 2 1/2 years old, you are starving that animal with one rat pup per week. I have an '06 female that is pushing 4' and eating
1 small rat, or 3 large mice a week and sometimes even more.
The thing is, she's not even remotely overweight! Our snakes
metabolisms do not follow our schedules and should not be treated
as if they do! What is the real benefit of "growing them Slow"?
I here all these arguements of shorter lifespans. Does anybody actually have any hard facts on this? Are there any records of
snakes that are fed once a week as apposed to several times a week, only living 20 as apposed to 25 years? Feed that thing
will you!
