This is off topic, but I have to ask: Is this your helmet for riding in states that require them? Saw it on a helmet sight and remembered seeing on your profile a long time ago that you might just listen to Alice every now and again...

Overfeeding snakes causes dire health consequences, just like in humans.
My biggest Boas, Bob and Ruby [8’, give or take] *never* get more than a large rat.
I know of other snake owners who feed rabbits, chickens, etc but their poor snakes spend days soaking in their water bowls, trying to alleviate the discomfort of an overly large meal.
Wild snakes are opportunistic and eat what they can, whenever they can, which accounts for some really big prey items being consumed.
If you find food and you don’t know when or if you’ll find food again any time soon, you’ll “gorge”.
All predators do that but it’s not necessarily a best case scenario,
My brats have controlled environments and steady, regular food and they thrive on smaller, dependable meals.
A duck for an 18’ foot snake is, however, not unreasonable, especially since it was probably on a monthly feeding schedule, at that size.
[poultry gives them loose droppings so I don’t use poultry at all]
I love that helmet but no, it’s not mine.
I just have a small half-shell that’s “legal enough”...:)
