Your statement about what your snakes would do. Consider, your suppose to support your snakes at what they WANT to do, not what you think they do.

Do your really think snakes do not stop feeding, you know feed until they pop. Dang a tropical fish wifestail sets in here.

They know when to stop feeding, you need to know how to support that.

These animals live in nature, without you. They know when to eat, when not to eat, how much to eat, etc. Why do you think they cannot do that in captivity? They do know, you are suppose to support what THEY DO, not hold back food because you keep them at temps they would not pick.

To me, its all about ego, you or people like you, control an animal, to a level of success and they you call that great, success, or good. Which is fine, but its not the animal, its you.

The point here is not about the snakes, its about how is the center of attention. is it about you, as in, what you can control, or is it about the animals and what they CAN DO, what they are designed to do, etc. That is the question.

Remember, they live outside, no one tells them what to do. They know what to do, it just needs to be there so they can do it. That you change that in captivity, is about you. Nothing personal. You as an individual are curious so in your case, it may simply be naivity. You just don't know. Thats naive. Learn then you will know.
