I can't imagine one or the other being more stressful on their digestive systems so again, it's all about choices. There's no right or wrong, just different methods that hopefully achieve the same results of keeping our animals strong and healthy for many years to come.
Oh okay I understand better now. Was thinking it was a size issue with thinner snakes vs a thicker meal.
