What immediate husbandry issue is anecdotally linked to some Piebald individuals?

Refusal to eat and frequent regurgitation

Beyond genetic health concerns, some anecdotal evidence suggests that certain Piebald individuals, particularly those with very high white expression, can develop significant feeding challenges. These issues manifest as a refusal to eat willingly or the frequent regurgitation of meals, sometimes leading to fatal outcomes if the snake cannot retain caloric intake. While not definitively proven as a genetic necessity for all Pieds, keepers must be proactive, sometimes considering temporary shifts to live feeding or smaller prey to ensure the snake establishes a consistent feeding habit during adjustment periods.
