Ray,
I have a 12 year old female caliking that I have had on this feeding regimen since her first year of breeding. Snakes in the wild eat more than one might think. There is a plethora of lizards and mice in the wild.
I feed my neonates about 150 meals in their first year. When they reach adulthood a maintenance feeding schedule will suffice (Two mice a week). It is only right out of hibernation do I feed many meals often. This does not cause obesity nor short term lifespan.
It is also important for double clutching if wanted.
