RE: WATER PYTHON

Sammccarthy - Read this thread on power feeding and you'll know what I mean, I'm not saying you should feed them more often, I've never even kept one.

SnakeWrangler - Certainly not me, I just go off the general consensus of how often more experienced herpers say to feed them (notice I didn't give exact instructions but said "maybe" and said to do more research, it also depends what species we are talking about, which hasn't been mentioned in this thread). The fact that some say that those fed too much can get "pin-heads" or worse, have organ failure and death from obesity tells me that over feeding is bad. Someone might have done some research into over feeding, read the thread in that link, Sdaji mentions some work Prof. Rick Shine did on water pythons, but I haven't read it so I don't know what it was about exactly.
