How carpets mangle rats

Caramel Coastal Carpet Python, male, fresh out of shed tonight got to feed, and boy he was excited! He hit his med. rat so hard that he literally ripped his stomach open and kept going. Bloodiest feeding I've seen in a while, thought I'd share a moment.

Did I do that?

Daaaad...you gave me a jelly filled one...I wanted the chocolate covered one...no fair.

Sorry, had to.

Wow. Impressive.. Thanks for sharing!

I was thinking more a long the lines of "So that's what I'm really eating . .. "

Wow. That's a great picture. Did he eat it all exploded like that?

Nice! When my lesser did this, she refused to finish it:

Shows how carpets are much less pickier i guess since yours was way worse and he STILL ate it lol.

Mine still finished, he eats like a champ :gj:

Nice pic. My pastel poped her small rat last week and still ate it. I was impressed because shes my picky eater. Also i had the jelly filled comment in mind lol. :gj:

Haha, awesome! My carpet hits hers hard too. I've started 'hook training' her so I can safely get her out - anything that moves in her enclosure is considered a meal, and is hit hard and fast. She kills faster than any of my other snakes, and is so impressive to watch maneuver her prey in coils while dangling from a branch :D
