    Ball Python Eatin a....Rabbit?

    OMG! It says "Blood" but looks like a Ball. Correct me if I am wrong here.

    YouTube - blood python feeding on rabbit.

    Everything I've ever read tells me that even the largest ball pythons should never eat anything larger than a medium rat.

    That rabbit is HUGE compared to the snake.

    that does not look like a ball at all and balls being as shy as they are...i dont think they'd take a shot at something as big as a rabbit...

    Definitely a blood, not even a superball, no idea where you got the idea it might be a ball.

    Man, if they bred Balls to look like Blood Pythons, I'd SO be all over that morph.

    In all seriousness...yeah, Blood Python. What worries me about this vid is that the rabbit seems to me anyways to be a prey item too large for the snake. That and rabbits can really hurt you with their scary teeth and wicked claws, I'd be terrified of feeding one of my babies something like that!!!!

    Re: Ball Python Eatin a....Rabbit?

    I have had large females balls take small rabbits in the past.
    A 2000 gram female took a small rabbit without hessitation when we were getting young rabbits from a local breeder for the same $$ as rats.

    Definatily a site to see..

    Re: Ball Python Eatin a....Rabbit?

    Well, 2 things:

    1) This came up is "Ball Python Eating" search.
    2) It looks like a BP morph on my screen. I guess it's just a bad quality for me.

    Still, seems like a awefully big meal.
