WHAT HAPPENS?

My Corn snake left me one of those presents one weekend. I feed him on a wednesday, and I went away for the weekend. When I got back I found it in one of his water dishes. Thankfully it was under water and I could smell anything. I could only imagine what one smells like. That is a smell that I would not want to smell.

Both Phil and Magellan are a little over 2 feet long, and they're both taking small rats just fine. Dang, but it amazes me sometimes just how large a prey item they can swallow. So far, I haven't had any regurges yet, but I'm sure that someday I will.

Both the boys ate for me Sunday evening. Phil took his immediately, but Magellan ignored his for a while until I finally reached in again with the needlenose, grasped it by the back, and jiggled it in the opening of his hide. That did it for him. He struck once, missed, struck again and constricted it. When I checked later, he'd swallowed it down just fine. I guess he likes his kicking a little, or at least looking like they're kicking a little...
