Anyways, good luck with that chief. I though the same thing when I got Caesar his big cage and guess what, he destroyed his face even more lol. I think he was able to get more of his body into the push haha.
Face it brutha, we got bottomless pit retics. They are always hungry and if they don't get food when they want, they have learned 'If I don't get food when I want, I will just destroy my face because then I get food....lots of food!' :P
No joke man! She's going to need an xl rat every 5-6 days at this point. It's crazy. I probably should have ordered more 2xl than xl in my rodent pro order. Live and learn I suppose...

Haha, Caesar is up to colossal rats and 2XL guinea pigs to keep him quiet for 10 days or so. He just destroys them. Like I said in another post, I was giving him a colossal rat but the tongs I use are just an old pair of BBQ tongs which aren't really strong enough to hold that large of food so I kept dropping it when I got it close to his door lol. He came shooting out of the door with mouth open and flailing like Stevie Wonder rocking on the piano lol. I had to wait until he got bored and went back into his cage. Then I slid the door enough that he couldn't get out but it got his attention. I then then slid the other side open and quickly laid the rat on top of his cool hide and close the door. He smelled it and went over and when he found it, he slammed it so hard he shook the freakin doors the whole cage stack haha. He is no joke when it comes to feeding. A wrong move and he will seriously mess you up. When there is no food, he is an angel and I pet him on the head and he will just lay at the front of the cage while I pet him but man, when he smells food, you have to be VERY careful.

Yeah, Phyllis shakes the doors to the cages every time she strikes her food. She's a monster. Really should have gotten all 2xl and some 3xl rats for her. I guess if I have to feed her more frequently on 2xl for a while I at least got a decent deal on her rats. ~$2.50 every 5-6 days is way better than $9 at the same schedule as the pet shop down here had jumbos that weighed under 300 grams. Her last meal was 360grams and she completely evacuated that from her system in 5 days. Beast. She could probably take two xl but that might be a bit much. She'd look like she ate a football after that

Huh, my old shop back home had jumbos that weighed 400-450ish. Guess I just lucked out there haha. Even with those Phyllis wouldn't last more than 9-10 days after eating before going all hulk mode on the center post at the front of the cage. Just gave her a 360 gram rat right now, she'll be hungry again in about an hour lol!

Wow, that shop had big feeders. Yeah the place i go, the colossals are about 450ish grams and the 2XL guinea pigs are about the same, around 450ish grams. Caesar lasts about 10 days with them, 14 if i get really lucky. Then he does his hulk thing at the exact same center post too haha. I'm beginning to think actually Phyllis and Caesar are related :P

Holy freaking mackerel, tomorrow is finally the day! Exactly 22 weeks from the day I ordered it Phyllis's T25 is supposed to be delivered tomorrow afternoon. Going to lowes to get some mirror mounts to set up her sky hide. So freaking pumped! Deluge of pics to follow once I have it set up

Congratulations on you T25! Could you explain how to make a sky hide? My snakes would love that! I'm not a handy person, so as many details as possible would be very appreciated.
