That references males fed a lot over a short period, not their whole lives. It also says females don’t benefit from it due to needing time to mature internally. I agree that we feed far to much too often in this hobby, and fasting animals much as @t_h_wyman does can only benefit the animals. That said, this thread is about breeding rodents, not feeding snakes. Feed as you see fit and just keep your animals body condition ideal, never 100% go by the book or by what breeders say. If I did that my snakes would be fat sausages. Also, isn’t there a thread on feeding ASF? I honestly can’t remember.
