    What some euphemistically call "maintenance feeding" means that the animal was fed minimal amounts of food to minimize growth; it's what some breeders do so the offspring don't outgrow their caging or their "cuteness", since many buyers prefer to buy "baby" snakes, while their bites are just tiny nips, etc.
