I think your taking the right approach. I feed similiar to you and not every snake eats the same. Some balls just want to grow and will eat aggressively and others in my collection regulate well on their own. While there is some generally accepted practices in raising and breeding balls, some on the forums will try to impose their beliefs as gospel. These people are not the foremost experts in the field, so who cares what they think and believe. Do what you know to be right for YOUR collection. Good luck with your breeding season.
