    My Maryland Ball with a 'tude

    I got this female in late September of '06, and she has grown so much!! She now is taking down 2 pinkie rats each feeding! Great feeding response! She will take your head off when trying to feed her and pretty much every other time ..crazy snake. Now on with the pictures...












    Big shoutout to Adam!! Thanks again fro this beautiful ball with such a great appitite!

    This rat had some freezer burn on it...It wont hurt her will it?

    Thanks for looking.

    justin, give that snake some food! she's pissy because your giving her a snack, not a meal!


    she looks like she could go to a crawler rat, a bit bigger than a pup(eyes just ready to open).

    she's too big for pinks, imo.

    Too bad you don't live near me Justin, I've got tons of lovely crawler/fuzzie rats right now, far more than our four 06's can snarf down. That's okay though, the bigger and older snakes are in for a treat as this crew mature into bigger feeders. Lovely snake!

    Freezer burn won't hurt her. The only issue with freezer-burned prey is that it can make the animal smell different and a snake may refuse. Obviously not an issue with yours.

    I got a 2 month old in October and he is eating small rats right now! Bump up the size of your prey.

    A small rat for a BP that's not even close to a yearling yet may be going a bit overboard. Bumping up prey for Justin's snake from a pinkie rat to a fuzzie rat is very appropriate but there's something to say for not going too far too fast and too big on a weekly prey item.
