Now if people only did this to their stools, maybe we wouldn't have an obesity problem.....:rofl:

What can I say...I was a reluctant participant in the "Wysocki Stool Evaluation" which involved nothing more than a dirty snake tub, bare hands, and few coronas.
Re: My Ball takes down a big rat!
sick video but i think you should feed it smaller rats because that rat could really harm the snake. you should flick its head near the ear and knock the rat out before feeding. and the rat will twitch and kick its legs still so the snake will still strike it.

There really isn't any problem with feeding live POONIS, if done correctly it's perfectly fine.

Bad idea.
That is a very easy way to cause any otherwise non-aggressive rat into becoming aggressive and dramatically increasing the chances that a snake will be injured by the rat while feeding.
A fat, happy, humanely treated rat makes for easy prey. Easier on the rat, less chance of injury for the snake.
