K, what do the adults eat? From their thickness it would seem like they could down a rabbit with no problem, but it looks like it'd be a stretch for their necks. Do they just eat smaller rodents and get all robust like that?

pic question
Rabbits are a waste for bloods, IMO. These animals are extremely efficient when it comes to prey consumption/growth & it's very easy to make them obese. Even my biggest bloods (6'+) eat a jumbo rat at a sitting, although they're extremely capable of pounding down good-sized rabbits. Making bloods fat is the quickest route to not breeding them. I'm forever telling folks to save their money & just buy rats! :) You know, "Silly blood python keeper, rabbits are for retics!" :twisted: :twisted: Then again, most snakes in captivity are overfed as it is...but that's another topic entirely.
