My first post and my first snake!

Don't handle the snake within a few days of feeding also, or they might vomit. And trust me, snake vomit is NOT a pretty sight!

I think the smell is worse then the sight! :P

Not to mention the stress it puts on the snakes digestive system. :o

That's disgusting! Thanks for the heads up..

Here's a nice new pic of him striking a pose.

cute! he's checkin you out :wink:

Great head shot man!

Thanks led!

Well feeding #2 was successful in a large paper kinkos bag. Question, should I be feeding him larger mice than that?? That hopper seemed to be too small.
Thanks, and sorry for the graphic picture.

Hehe, no need to be worried about "graphic" feeding pics. I'm sure anyone here would be used to seeing such things. ;) And he's quite a looker. 8)

Looking at the pic, it looks like he could have taken a bit larger mouse. I can see part of his body in the pic that seems thicker than the prey item, and usually a safe way to guage the prey item is by matching the mouse size with the size of your snakes widest part. So next time I'm sure you could try a bit larger. I've yet to experience feeding a snake yet though, so I'm only going by what knowlege I've gained from research. :(

yes, i agree that he could take a larger mouse.

and not to worry cody, your day is fast approaching. soon we will be looking at pics of your bp taking down a meal. :D

For sure. I just gotta get my hands on that digital camera at Walmart that I could kick myself for not grabbing last week. 8)
