Um no its not. I feed my retics every 10 days as babies. After 5 or 6 feet o switch to two weeks. In my opinion an adult retic should be fed every 4 weeks. The animal IS healthy. I don't do this because I can't manage a big snake, I can, and love them. But I know i believe it is healthier, and more natural. not saying a snake should live natural "wild" life on captivity, but overfeeding is incorrect and many if not most don't realize theyre doing it.
As miller said, and I don't mean to be rude or condescending, these are not ball pythons and different measures can be taken.
