    The secret is grinding up bacon, big macs, and milkshakes. Add a dash of powdered Viagra (for the boys), put it in a sausage casing, with a tail..and zombie dance it while saying "Squeak squeak". Don't forget to warm it up properly.










    *Disclaimer*
    This is 100% sarcastic, please don't feed your snakes anything other than live rodents, and don't stuff your rodents with delicious, I mean...fatty bacon...heh.

    Probably a bad idea. Food with high fat content generally isn't great for them, especially boas who I've read have trouble process excess fat.
    If you were really wanted to get food with higher fat content, and I really don't know why you would, there are Zucker rats which are bred to have a propensity for obesity.


    Gosh, look at that sucker.

    RE: Power Feeding....with BACON!

    This is weird. I don't remember where I saw it. But someone had a picture of their GTP wrapped around a strip of bacon and it in its mouth with the caption "I ran out of rats"....
