I think everyone missed the point of feeding GROWING snakes and BREEDING snakes. Large adults can be kept alive on a minimum diet since they don't breed and excercise.They don't have to produce eggs. They don't seek a mate. they don't hunt. etc, etc..
most of these snakes are also kept in marginal conditions with almost zero temp range.I know rosy boas and kingsnakes in nature centers that have been kept alive for a long time. They never bred and hardly move.
It is obvious a female that ovulates and oproduces eggs needs to be fed the heck out of. That is the pinnacle of keeping snakes in a box. It means success to the highest degree possible at this time.
Meanwhile i am working on triple clutching my Florida kings again this year.

A king may move a man, a father may claim a son. But remember that, even when those who move you be kings or men of power, your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand before God you cannot say "but I was told by others to do thus" or that "virtue was not convenient at the time." This will not suffice.
