:O That is amazing.
The largest female I saw was actually today, at 5200 grams.
She must take down atleast three small rats a sitting.


Anyways, I'm actually attempting to follow down the same feeding path as Adam -
Im sticking to feeding small rats, I'll offer them as many as they can take down a sitting.
Im tired of Morgan going off feed from large rats. :no:

My only question is, How do you get BP to drink Lipton Iced Tea https://ball-pythons.net/forums/images/icons/icon12.gifhttps://ball-pythons.net/forums/images/icons/icon10.gif

Hers how you do it...you put it in a syringe and into the bps mouth :bonk: Im so dum

have you guys ever heard of a chat room? how about IM?
maybe next time you wont ruin a thread with 5 pages of nothing.

I feed frozen/thawed. Cheaper, cleaner, easier, and safer.

It is illegal here in UK to feed live, so its always F/T for me & my lot..


I wouldnt feed live anyway...I dont think it would be nice to watch, or I wouldnt want to run the risk of my snakes getting hurt.

Well We feed live rats to the snakes that eat live rats, we feed ft mice to the one that only eats ft mice, we feed live mice to the one that eats live mice,Shoot i would feed live gerbils ft chickens live chickens to those that would eat them.Really our only goal is to keep our snakes heathly and growing at a reasonably rate.Would We like all of our collection to eat live rats yes its easier for us as we raise them.The big thing with raising our own rats is I know what they are fed that they are in the best health.I Think that we get better results from feeding rats we have bred ourselves they are in better shape size and health then those we had bought from pet stores.Its just my opinion that like those that breed cows or other animals for human consuption that you get what you put into your breeding stock. They use vitamins and stuff to insure that they get the best return when they are sold and we get the best quality meats we buy.I think it's only reasonable to assume that if you feed and keep your breeding supply of snake food healthy you will see the results in your snakes.All in all it comes down to what keeps your snakes eating and healthy.One last thing on feeding live as long as you take time to keep the prey approraitly sized or a little smaller then the snake needs you should be fine if you have to feed more then one prey item We would rather do this then see the snake hurt also allows the snake to decide how hungry they really are.

its illegal either way and a law abiding citizen should be honest enough to not disobey the law no matter how ridiculous the laws may be.
