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.

So the question is this. Is bad to just "maintain" a snakes health by not feeding it and letting it live seperatly or restricting calories?

Supported health- Well, we could be fed through IV tubes and have good weight and heatlh.

I think that the bonding debate is to allow snakes to do more than that. And us learn and enyoy them doing it.

So if you keep snakes together (whether you beleive in bonding or not) they want to reproduce. So by restricting calories they stop reproducing. So my thinking is... Since we put them in a box already, why not help them "survive" a little better?

Remember in nature they stop reproducing when food supply runs out and they die. And your post was about emulating nature because snakes are healthy in nature.

But as i said when food supplies run low in a given area the snakes stop reproducing and some die. So how is it not better to allow them to live to their fullest poetntial?
