Very good post Kerby! That is what is so amazing about the juvenile-mentality of feeding techniques I have read about and known about all of these years. I never thought 20 years ago I would be hearing about the awful, unhealthy feeding techniques I hear about today.
I keep pits mostly, and have had northern pines get to breeding age in 2 years ( would never recommend breeding at 2 years old, but just mentioning that for size ) with once a week feeding schedules. My 3 biggest snakes, a ghost bullsnake, a northern pine, and albino sonoran gopher snake, went from being normal-mid sized adults around 4 foot long when I got them, to almost 6 foot with feedings every 10-14 days.
Balance is the key.
I do feed the kiddos much more frequently than that, but my point is, with older adult snakes, no need to give them a buffet each night.
