There was a post about this awhile back...

Yes, some breeders feed all of their snakes f/t, even the old ones. As a snake matures, it doesn't need to feed as often as a young one. And an adult ball can get along quite nicely eating only once or twice a month when it is simply maintaining its weight. But more likely she will fast for a month or two, then eat a few times, then fast...

I feed live, but small (ave. about 50 grams) rats. Someone feeding f/t can feed a much, much bigger rat. A 200 gram rat has a similar food value to a month's worth of feeding for my snakes.
