>>Is it possible to feed a milk snake too often? Can feeding too often cause health problems for a milk?

yes and yes. some snakes will eat everything put in front of them, which can provoke a regurg. That can upset the digestive system and disrupt a regular feeding routine. And overfeeding can result in obesity. It's not common, but every animal's metabolishm is different and some convert food to growth better than others. In my many years working with milks i've acquired one honduran that was obese--i never could eliminate the problem--and one nelsoni that was obese.
