Seems like common sense to me. No, if you just want to keep a pet snake, you do not have to feed it massive amounts of food. If you want that snake to produce 2 or 3 clutches of eggs a year, then yes, you do. The energy-protein to produce that many eggs has to come from somewhere, and it comes from the food you provide. As it has also been stated, proper temps, humidity, etc have to be provided too to alow the snake to process that much food efficiently.
