    My bullsnakes are the best garbage disposals I've ever had. I haven't had one refuse a meal, or two, or three.. They have super fast metabolisms too, digesting everything within a few days and ready for more.

    This is not from my experience but I know a dude who swears up and down he has a carpet that will only eat mice. He has apparently tried everything and nothing works. I have no personal experience with carpets but from what all you are saying, his is a rare specimen. Lol.

    Ball python! My normal female will eat anything you throw in her tub; mice, rats, asfs, live or dead. She even eats when she's in the clear phase of shedding :P None of my others are picky either, they just don't attack things like she does

    I can't believe I'm the first to say retics! They will eat anything at any time for sure!! Even the super dwarf retics :D

    This one right here was my garbage disposal for awhile.. Until I realized she was becoming a bit too fat. She has been on a strict diet for quite a few months now.

    x2 on retics. Between my adult and my hatchling, any size food now goes to them when I have extra :-D Plus their feeding response makes them absolutely fun to feed!

    Re: Best type of "garbage disposal" snake
    I either use my various corns or my Bull snake. They will just about eat anything at any time.

    Guy's telling the truth, I too have what we Morelia people call a mouser carpet. These animals were fed mice at an early age and refuse to switch to rats as they grow bigger. In turn making you feed a 6ft-7ft snake multiple mice per feeding, which is not fun with a snake that can eat a jumbo rat. This is why Morelia guys who are experienced, know to start new born carpets off with rat pinks and never ever let them taste mice. It's just a pain and from my observations, Jungle Carpet's and Irian Jaya's do it more often than any other carpet species.
