There is no substitute for personal experience from years of working with your "pet" project.

You are absolutely right but I still like to cross reference and ask questions. When I ask why a snake regurgitates a large meal or dies from a large meal, I want to be lead in the right direction of an answer, not told to just feed smaller meals less frequently. That does not answer the question.
