The real problem we have here is NO ONE knows how much a snake eats. I think it was Rainer who brought up the fact a while ago that if a kingsnake runs into a bunch of mice in the wild they will gorge themselves on everything they can find, mice,fuzzies,pinkies, until they are satisfied. I only eat as much as I want, not to stuff myself but to satisfy my appetite. I also have the choice of when to eat, snakes don't. Picture an Ethiopian at Thanksgiving, Do you think he or she is going to eat a dinner and say "I haven't eaten in 3 weeks but I'm full now so I don't want seconds?
