How to wean off of power feed

Hi
everyone

Happy to be here. Now I need some help and this is the best forum I know around.

I’m currently living in Iran and as you probably guess the reptile scene here is not great. I’m buying my first BCI (previously have had ball pythons and my dad used to keep a huge Burmese that I helped him with). Which will be my first snake over here.

Now all the breeders in Iran power feed their snakes. This snake is 3-4 months old and a female BCI. She will arrive tomorrow and I will share pictures and specific data such as weight, length and stuff here.


What I need to know is how to approach weaning her off of the power feeding schedule. I will share the exact schedule tomorrow I know that the breeder fed her 3 adult lab mouse To her each week! All at the same day and in quick
succession

He is also shipping some feeders to me tomorrow so I will know what is the weight of the pray she usually consumes

Should I just go cold turkey or should I gradually reduce her meal size? Also will there be any permanent harm to her?

I searched the web but found no answer to these questions

Appreciate any and all feedback
