Why is "отвал" in the genitive case and not the dative case in: В честь праздника рептили позволили наесться до отвала. (In honor of the birthday of the reptile, they allowed him to eat TO satisfaction.)
Would: отвалЕ have a different or equally valid meaning?

"До отвала / до отвалу" is a compound adverb so grammatical case is inapplicable here since Russian adverbs don't change by case.

because it's not always a good idea to rely on the translation in your native toung :) the preposition до means "until" and is used with the genetive case. a bit awkward translation of this sentence would be he ate _until_ the state where he couldn't move anymore.

Отвал is used nearly only in this meaning-до отвала (to do smth so much that you can't do it anymore)

Well, even if you put the word 'отвал' in the dative case, it wouldn't be 'отвале', but rather 'отвалу', and in this case it would have just the same meaning(наесться до отвалу)
You can basically forget the English grammar when learning Russian. By the way, the word 'отвал' is not the word 'satisfaction'. In this case they are interreplacable, but they not always are, just so you know.
