You have to take into consideration that feeding full grown ADULT getula "as much as they want" may be only two to four adult mice at a time.....a couple times a week........That is sometimes "as much as they want." That's not "Heavy Feeding" by far.....I don't think Rainer and FR ever stated they feed them 12 Adult mice every day as the snakes would not eat that much.....A snake will turn down food when full and when the temp/humidity is not correct........
Then if you are talking about growing getula they will stuff themselves like sausages........They will regurge when the humidity and temperature needed for digestion is not found or provided......If it is provided they'll find it.......
Or the snake will regurge if it is ill.......
Think about this:
A snake (getula) grows its most from hatchling to adult size within a 2 or so year period.........It may live 25 years....In the other 23 years or so it barely grows comparitively speaking.......
We as humans reach our adult size in about 18 years.....we stay that size for another 50 years then we start shrinking.....LOL ----- John Lassiter
Poor planning and procrastination on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...
