I by no means will ever starve an animal...

With all regards, instead of feeding my BCC rabbits at its adulthood, it will only eat rats, and always the quantity needed.

My statement before comes from a lab scientist where experiments showed that snakes grow according to their food supply. As is the case with reptiles and their incredibly efficient metabolism which is 10 times that of humans, snakes have the ability to regulate their size potential based on their availability of food.

Hence smaller snakes from islands - more competition for food and smaller number of larger prey items. It is survival of the fittest. Snakes are king.

Also take into fact that many snakes in capacity suffer from obesity and chronic dehydration. Obesity plays a significant role in size.

I hope you understand my point, starving is not the intended message.
