Need help finding an old post

A long time ago someone had a post that linked an autopsy report on a wild caught ball python. The report listed the stomach contants mostly consisting of birds.

Does anyone know where this thread is? I have been searching for 2 hours and can't find it. I know for a fact it is on this site somewhere...

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Yeah, I tried that.... haven't come across it yet. Maybe it isn't clear by the thread title.

no, that is adam referencing the studies... there was a thread at one time that actually showed those studies... can't find it now though

I don't know about the old post you're looking for but I have many times fed small ball pythons chicks. Day old chicken chicks. I've fed older snakes chicks as well, but I did some experimenting in the long ago and had quite a few take them. There were a few who were stubborn feeders that wouldn't take mice or rats that did eat chicks. It was a very small number though. I probably tried it on 70 to 100 babies and if I recall correctly about 60% of them took the chicks. I do remember a couple stubborn starters that fired up on them, but it was a very small number.

If'n I were a betting woman - I'd PM Skiploader or Wes - I bet the could direct your to the study in which you seek. :)

Edit: Hah! Wes snuck in right before me!

You have a PM.

When you find it, please share. I'd be interested in reading it. Thanks!
