Need help finding an old post

A long time ago someone had a post that linked an autopsy report on a wild caught ball python. The report listed the stomach contants mostly consisting of birds.

Does anyone know where this thread is? I have been searching for 2 hours and can't find it. I know for a fact it is on this site somewhere...

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

:8:

Yeah, I tried that.... haven't come across it yet. Maybe it isn't clear by the thread title.

I don't remember it, so I'm no help :(

no, that is adam referencing the studies... there was a thread at one time that actually showed those studies... can't find it now though

I don't know about the old post you're looking for but I have many times fed small ball pythons chicks. Day old chicken chicks. I've fed older snakes chicks as well, but I did some experimenting in the long ago and had quite a few take them. There were a few who were stubborn feeders that wouldn't take mice or rats that did eat chicks. It was a very small number though. I probably tried it on 70 to 100 babies and if I recall correctly about 60% of them took the chicks. I do remember a couple stubborn starters that fired up on them, but it was a very small number.

If'n I were a betting woman - I'd PM Skiploader or Wes - I bet the could direct your to the study in which you seek. :)

Edit: Hah! Wes snuck in right before me!

You have a PM.

When you find it, please share. I'd be interested in reading it. Thanks!

just curious whether you located the thread he was looking for or had other information to share. I've been curious about this subject in the past, and your posts are always informative.
