Re: What is too much growth?

Don't take my word for it, but fast growth shouldn't worry you. Obesity should. If your snake is growing but is staying lean and muscular he should be fine.

Besides you are feeding him 10-15% of his body weight weekly, you aren't stuffing him with meals twice his size every 3 days.

I definitely don't think I'm anywhere near power feeding. He easily takes down two hoppers without leaving a particularly larger lump. And he seems like pretty lean and muscular snakes. I can always see the muscles in his back and sides.

Preach brother. This is the bigger concern.
