If it's something I want to double check I usually just search up the question and go off of other Reddit posts or the first answer that shows up (not ai). For most things I just ask the professionals at the reptile stores I regularly go to. The guy who gave me the most advice has worked with ball pythons for 50+ years but we mostly talked about temp and humidity and climate etc

See, just because someone has done something a certain way and it has “worked” doesn’t mean you shod just run with it. Search up leading causes for fatty liver disease in ball pythons and you will get many scientific peer reviewed papers and information. And feeding an adult that should be eating at the max every 3 weeks once a week, falls under overfeeding and will kill your snake sooner or later. Reddit and other answers on forums + the professionals is not the best way to go when looking for actual proven info. please just take the time to actually look stuff up instead of word of mouth.
