It's been a week since I got my ball to eat for the first time so I had my brother pick me up a feeder mouse(thats what I told him to get). Apperantly the guy at the petstore said my snake can eat a small rat and gave him one instead of the feeder I asked for. I heard so many horror stories about how rats fight and that so I sat beside the tank as I let the rat go in the cage. The rat runs into my bp's hide and I hear this long loud hiss and then a squeak and no more noise. Didnt even take a minute for my snake to eat the rat. Oh yea my bp is about 4 feet now so I know it was big enough for a small rat just had so many problems getting it to eat that I was sticking to feeder mice since I knew it would eat that. Looks like its a small rat every week for my bp now!!!!
