She struck the rat so hard... (not for the squeamish)

My boyfriend's red tail struck her rat so hard she literally split it in half... and continued to eat it

This wasn't even from her constricting. She struck at it and smoked the rat against the glass. The left over smell was horrid

I hope to never see that from my boa!! lol, i guess that would be the same thing if I socked a rat into a wall, so I could see that happening.

Id rather id be the boa who does it though, once I over dethawed/overcooked a mouse, went to squeeze it to see if it was done and it literally exploded, right into my face.

I may be able to say that i am one of the few who knows what f/t mouse taste like now...

I have had this happen before when I put a f/t rat in hot water before it was thawed out. I think it may have weakened the rat's skin. I now thaw the rats to room temp before heating them up in hot water and don't have this issue anymore.

Id say alive, its fur looks dry and the organs look fresh.

It was frozen
He defrosts his rats under a heat lamp and dries them off with a paper towel before feeding

The larger the F/T prey the longer it has to thaw, the longer it has to thaw the more it will decompose, thus it becomes easier to break open like that.

I've had rodents start leaking on me because o sitting under lamps for too long.

Awesome!

WOW :gj:

my anaconda has done this once before with a f/t It was horrible and the smell was ungodly lol I feel your pain

Gross...and awesome! Would have loved to have seen that in person!

i bet it would of tasted better with some seasoned salt and bbq sauce:rofl::rofl:

Jax always hits his grub hard but thats impressive.... Right after I got him he squeezed a pup so hard blood was coming out of its mouth, but never ne thing like that

This happened with my female ball :O except her constricting did it- the smell was HORRIBLE

Haven't had one explode in any way shape or form yet. Looking forward to it. Not really, but what can I say. Sounds like it happens quite a bit!

haha. i was gonna say, if it just did that out of FORCE... wouldnt wanna get bit by that.... :D

Wow, I always have a soft spot for the rats (kept them as pets when I was little a lot), almost cried the first couple times we fed ours not real sure how I'd handle seeing Deja pull that.

I see liver!
