How do you power feed your snake?

Answer 1

yes

Pampiress-
I power feed my snakes. I have a 3 foot Ball Python, a 5 foot Ball Python, and a 12 foot Burmese Python. With our two Balls, we feed once a month usually (unless cash flow lets us feed weekly) and they do fine with it. We feed the 3 foot either 4 small white mice or one medium rat. The 5 foot, we feed her either 6 small whites or two medium rats. Our 12 foot, we feed either 5 extra large rats or three rabbits. Although it is safe to power feed a Burmese, it is not advisable. They will go into a feeding frenzy. They will eat as long as you are putting food in with them. They will over gorge themselves, for they have no stopping sense when it comes to eating. They will eat even if they are not hungry.

Answer 2

You should never power feed snakes, ask anyone who has REAL experience. Power feeding has serious health effects on snakes, to put it simply, it has been shown that people who have used this method of feeding experience early deaths of their pets. In fact it can take up to 10 years off a snakes life expectancy in captivity.
