Have you seen the feeding videos? Cute? His idea of "killing" prey is bludgeoning it to death (I see redshepherd feeds f/t though - thank you!)!

Okay, even if he does crush and slam his prey to death, and violently strike it first, I have to admit, he is kind of cute :).

However, I am still a fan of constriction, for the record (no offense Drogon; whatever works for you buddy).

:sarcasm:

I love watching the different methods snakes have for getting a meal- whether it's grab & slam, constriction or even venom, they're ALL amazing adaptations
when you consider these creatures have no hands or anything. Venom is actually a more modern way- strike fast & stay out of the way until the prey dies, then
collect your prize. The snakes that constrict have a much higher chance of injury by prey that fights back during the battle. "Grab & slam" is cave-man style...:D

HAHAHAHAHAHA but it’s the most precious bludgeoning EVER!! I do love watching indigos feed...that kind of savagery even trumps my scrub! Beasts, I say. But precious beasts [emoji4]

He is 249g yesterday! He is eating one small adult mouse a week now, approximately. Or I feed him three hoppers. He's growing so fast!

These pics below are from a few weeks earlier! The little indents on some of his scales is apparently from being curled up for long periods of time inside his hide... by his own choice of course. He is a shy boy. Lol

Thank you! He unfortunately stopped with the bludgeoning recently. I suspect he was either very hungry when I first got him, or he now learned that his meals are already dead... LOL less entertaining, but he just kind of grabs and swallows the mouse now like any other lazy snake. :rolleyes:

Love the red against the glossy black, really is stunning

WOW! He's getting more handsome by the day.

He's gorgeous...and I just want to tickle that peach-colored chin! :D I'm sure he has learned that food arrives as MRE's... ("meals ready to eat")

I also love the lines that radiate below their eyes like inverted eyelashes...very distinct & tribal-looking.

Whoa! Drogon is amazing! Beautiful color!
