just looking for some info on maintenance feeding.



i inquired about a bp that i was interested in until i found out the weight. i asked if she had feeding issues and the response i got was....



"No feeding issues at all, maintenance fed. If I fed everything every 5-7 days that I planned on selling I would have nothing but adult racks."



to me, this is just being cheap



if you don't feed at least once a week, wouldn't you potentially have a stunted snake?



anyone ever raised up a snake that was severely underweight from being maintenance fed and raised to adult size? results?



imo, snakes should be fed at least once a week, not starved, and charge a few more bucks if need be. seems like if you are charging hundreds and thousands for snakes, you could at least feed them once a week!



i'm a hobbyist. i keep and raise reptiles because i enjoy it and it's a passion. it always tweaks me when i see people more concerned about making a buck than the welfare of the critters. just my 2 cents.... i only got into bp's last year. i was into pits, kings, and the old world rats. seems like a lot more people out for just the money since i dipped into the bp realm.



feedback? opinions?
