    I really lucked out with my first BP

    After reading about all the trouble people have with feeding I feel so lucky to have picked the BP I got. Besides when I first got her, I pretty much have no trouble feeding or raising her. She will be 1 in a month and a half.

    Last night was food night and she wasn't coming out of her hide, I suspect laziness. I plucked her out of the hide, she finally started realizing there was a rat around and was flicking her tongue like crazy. Dropped her back in the tank and dropped in a warmed up rat, well more like lowered it and she was curled around it before it hit the ground.

    She's really tame, doesn't seem to mind being handled and eats like a monster. I guess I got really lucky to get her as my first BP to allow me to learn how to raise them on one that isn't picky and fussy.

    And of course a big thanks to this community, a lot of dedicated and caring owners.

    I must be extremely lucky, because none of my snakes are bad feeders
