    Yup, a lot of the time it is necessary to do the zombie mouse polka before they'll accept warmed mouseicles as prey items, but if that's the worst of it getting them fed, then you're in good shape. I hate when I have the mouse clamped in the hemostats (but not locked, because I want to let go quickly) and I end up dropping the mouse in the tank. Others say their snakes jump on it when they do that. Mine look at me like I'm losing credibility that it's a real prey item. :)

    LOL at the "zombie mouse polka." Yeah, Suki did look a bit suspicious, but hunger won out in the end.

    Hooray for hunger then! What do you plan to feed Neph when she's outgrown jumbo rats?

    Our cat. And eventually maybe a kid or two if they're really, really bad. (Just kidding)

    Actually, Rodent Pro has frozen rabbits in 5 sizes ranging from small to "colossal" (up to 9.75 pounds). After that we'll have to explore other options. Maybe some others on here with giant constrictors have some suggestions . . . anyone?

    You know, I almost said that (jokingly), but I was afraid someone might take offense.

    Pimp_n, hmm... maybe you ought to think of the repercussions sometimes, but I think we're all right on this one. ;) I know a couple of pit bulls I'd love to offer Neph, Smynx. It'd only be fair since they ate my cat. Seriously, though, maybe you should look into breeding New Zealand Giant bunnies. We had one when I was a kid and he was 17 or 18 lbs. when grown.

    how long did it take to reach that size marla?

    I think it was about a year, but it has been almost 25 years ago (geez! I feel so old!). Still, it's probably a pretty good prey option if you have space to breed them, and they're cute as heck.
