Over feeding will not result in a faster growing snake. Just like kids who are given too much to eat, they just get fat. Which in turn would hinder their growth in skeletal terms.

Also you can't get a snake to eat things that are bigger than it wants to eat.



Have you heard of a little thing called power feeding??? it just so happens to be a process where a snake is overfed for the only reason of making it grow faster.

And you can make a snake eat something too big for it, show the food to it.
Seriously, thats a load of rubbish you wrote there.

Yes, now that I reflect on seeing snakes dying eating crocs I realise it was a daft thing to say, and thanks mike richards for pointing that out in such a pleasant manner. Perhaps you'd prefer it if I didn't post here?
