Snake Feeding and Size...

Is there any method of feeding a snake that could keep it healthy and provide enough nutrition while limiting its growth?

I'm aware of the Munson plan for healthy, large growth; though, that seems to be the opposite of what I'm going for.

Any thoughts?
 
Well, why would you want to limit its growth?

But if you feed once a week, that's perfectly fine and will deliver consistent but relatively slow growth, as opposed to plans more inclined towards power feeding.
 
Thanks for the input.

I don't have much space in my apartment to fit a much larger viv than the ones I've got. Currently using a 10 gal, moving up to a 20 long eventually.

I figure slowing its growth will allow it to remain more comfortable in its viv longer, as well as making it easier to take the snake out for feeding, etc.
 
Well okay that's fair enough, as long as you're not trying to restrict its adult size, LOL! We had a case a few months back of that, it wasn't pretty...

Best of luck.
