I was talking about the entire approach. Obviously any feeding regime you choose, if it does not support proper growth, basic metabolism and the reproductive effort is insufficient. I agree that you can create conditions that will maximize growth and reproductive output but by the same token given the same choices snakes on a less robust diet should make the proper thermal selections that limit reproductive effort in order to preserve / support personal health. You suggest that the only way to support health is to always drive maximal reproductive output and I don’t see any evidence that there is an ounce of truth to that.
