Rat pillow :/

Whenever Clyde doesn't take his rat I'll leave it in front of his hide for a few hours in case he changes his mind... well went to go see if he decided to eat an instead caught him snuggling with it -_-

Hahaha that is so funny

Is it just me, or does that rat look huge compared to his head?

That did cross my mind.

In your other thread you said he was on small rats. That looks like a medium.

Funny picture though haha

Hilarious picture...

But I agree that rat looks too big. It could be why he didn't eat it.

Any idea how much that rat weights?

Exactly my first though. Too big, a snake big enough to eat that rat wouldnt fit in that hide. I have the same hide for one of my little guys

No it's a small rat the insides jus kinda all sunk an slumped over from being dead an layin in that position for a few hours. It looks a lot bigger in this pic then it actually is. An na I don't kno tha weight I jus buy a 3 pack of "small rats" from petco. It's tha smallest size of rat I can find in my area in Utah.

When I picked tha rat out to throw it away it looked like a rat pancake due to gravity which is why it looks so big in tha pic...

I thought the same thing when I first saw the pic. No way he is going to try to take that thing down.

Lol he has eatin this same size for tha last consecutive 4 weeks and about a month 1/2 before that before a minor food strike. Like I said... this rat looks a lot bigger than it actually wuz... it wuz about as thick as a pancake when I picked it up because all of its guts an insides flattened an spread out from laying on its side...

You get the three pack from petco that I used too get ha I breed own rats now its easier for me. Those little three packs are nice, gotta watch it cuz sometimes they give you ones that are lot bigger than other two (not saying anything bout pray size in pic) I had it happen couple times where one was good size bigger then the rest so I decided time to breed own.

so the rat isnt fat, its flat :D :D :D

sorry just couldnt resist

There are a lot of people saying the same thing, that it looks a bit big. I agree.

Feeding prey that's too big is one of the main things that will cause them to go on a feeding strike. There's no mom and pop pet shop near you? They can usually get you more sizes. If he eats it, he eats it. I'm just saying it could cause strikes for a while.

And I appreciate tha concerns, that's tha biggest reason I enjoy this forum, it's obvious that tha main concern for jus bout erry one on here is tha well being an state of life for each persons animal wether it be a breeder or a pet owner there is an obvious concern and love for these animals and it's great! But really tha rat wuz not as big as it appears to be in tha pic. And there isn't a non big chain pet store in my city that I have been able to find, tha closest I have found is in Salt Lake City which is about 45 minutes away and inaccessible at tha current moment due to my vehicle situation. But once again thank you to tha people who were concerned, jus wanted to share tha pic cause I found it kinda funny...

I'm not looking at the size of the rat's body, but just by looking at that rat's head it is much too big. the rat's head shouldn't be bigger than the snake's head.

Tha rats head wuz jus about dead on tha size of my snakes, thanks for tha great input tho!

PLEASE let's keep discussing tha size of this enormous, ridiculously too big of a rat that is almost identical to tha size my snake eats every week...

Once again, tha rat wuz flattened all tha way up to right under tha rats head, giving it tha illusion of being bigger than it actually wuz. I'm not an expert but I'm far from an idiot, if this rat wuz too big I wouldn't have attempted a feed. My snake wuznt hungry, didn't even poke his head out of his hide when I warmed it wit tha blow dryer like he usually does which is why I left it in front of his hide after he wouldn't come out even with me dangling tha rat in there, he showed no interest in even investigating tha rat, he simply wuznt hungry. He has eatin this size of rat every week for over two months with not tha slightest sign of a problem digesting or getting it down.

Understandable haha sounds like you understand what's up he's your animal none of us know his likings or preferences :) my carpet likes to hunt with two rats in with her idk why think cuz they run around together but she'll take one then I remove the other what ever makes your snake happy is what you gotta do

As long as he is eating for you thats all that matters.

Well, all things aside, that picture really is super cute!
