Here's a pic of a fat jungle that died from fatty liver disease.A beautiful animal which had it's lifespan cut short at 6 years old from being grown too quickly.Jungles don't tolerate being pumped with food or powerfed as the term goes.This animal had that much fat it was incredible.He even had a fat deposit on his heart.There's a pic of the autopsy in my gallery and you can see how much fat there was.

I feel feeding lean rats or mice once a week to a growing snake and once a fortnight to adults is a good feeing regime to follow.
