Its been my experience that the individuals that grow the fastest, breed the best and live the longest.
But, I think this stradgy is common to snakes, torts, and lizards.
To add to what you said. Your rubber boa example is commonplace with most adult snakes. Once they are successful adults, they spend very little time feeding during a year. In my experience with some individuals, a average of 8 or so good feedings in a year is normal.
But those animals have the ability to conserve energy all year, not just the winter. Cheers
