Feeding by weight instead of appropriate sized meals. More in depth feeding schedule.

I guess by those definitions yes they can be considered domestic and your right they are not like their wild counterparts when they born into captivity. What are your thoughts on feed a wild caught snake? Would you go the same route in feeding or would you choose to go more natural?

The last time I dealt with wild caught snakes was roughly 10 or so years ago.

With that in mind, I'd do what I did then. Get them eating which included live and fed once a week. Maybe every 5 days for real young ones.

They are no longer in the wild so they no longer need to be opportunistic the way they once were.
