you tell newbies to throw 20 pinkies in the snake cage and see what happens



ahh, you'r taking things out of context.



What the situation was is that poster had been feeding pinks to his snake its whole life. Everybody agreed he should move the food size items up. My response was to getting rid of the pinkies by leaving sevral in the cage until the snake had its fill. then remove the rest. that way the OP can utilize the pinks and move up to the larger items faster. I never reccomended he continually feed large number of pinkies on a regular basis. But instead to feed off the remaining pinks to a 20" long snake.



but then the whole regurge debacle started from you guys by saying if you overfeed the snake it will regurge. Which is alo not true. Kings (and especially florida kings) will eat as much as they want and leave what they don't. they won't overfeed and stuff themselves to the point of regurging uinless it is a larger snake that they are feeding on and can't stop. this does not happen with small indivdual mice.Especially pinkies to a snake that can eat adult mice.
