Not my snake but whoa. Prey item does look a little big don't you think?

[JLC]

Poor bunny.


It certainly looks like a bigger prey item than I would ever choose to feed a snake of my own...but then again, I don't own any bloods and have no idea if their feeding needs are different than what I'm already familiar with. I'm sure they wouldn't hesitate to take prey that big in the wild, though.

A little big? That rabbit was HUGE.

Bloods don't ever need anything that big.. I assume it's more of a 'show off' type feeding (not wise obviously)

A large rat is plenty for even big bloods.

aye strikes me that the owner is an idiot, in short. Look what my Blood can do brigade.

It's these type of careless owners that end up with snakes with bites on them and large vet fee's.

Ugh! I hated that video!!! I would say my yellow blood might be about that size, he gets 1 sometimes 2 small rats every week. With the occasional medium rat depending on what the shop has the day I go.

What an *##@&$%!!! This is the one and only time since being on BP.net that I've felt like swearing is the only way to describe someone... The guy who fed off that poor rabbit to his blood... grrr...

They prey size was too big, obviously--and as a consequence, the rabbit had a longer, more traumatic death than was necessary and his snake likely had an uncomfortably full belly afterward.

Sometimes I just want to wring people's necks...

And the worst part is, the "audience" watching it was really enjoying watching that rabbit die slowly.

[Sausage]

What an ass- that was definently "show off" feeding. Probably had friends over- "Hey look what my snake eats!"

[MeMe]

Ignorant...just :cens0r: ignorant! I give my redtail a SMALL bunny (sometimes) but he is 9 FT!!! Whoever did that definitely has NO clue how to care for that snake!
