Plus, what kind of life does the snake have if he is always digesting food all the time??
Answer this.... What kind of life does a snake have in captivity?? In captivity they roam their enclosure if it is large enough, they hide, they drink water, they eat and they breed.
What do they do in the wild?
They eat. If they can find it.... They are CONSTANTLY digesting food in captivity until they are large enough to breed. When they are large enough to breed, they eat less often, same as in captivity.
I know of plenty of populations that feed constantly.... up to 2 times a week in the wild. Powerfeeding has little effect on them considering in the wild the same thing would happen if the food was around.
