Sucess!! (and feeding pics)
YAY FOR US!!! I feel like a proud mom....Severus ate his 3rd mouse since he's been with me, AND went through his first shed with me! We survived, whew. This snake thing is exhausting...LOL. He's on adult mice right now, and I keep hearing different things about changing him to rats (rat pups?) vs keeping him on the mice for a while longer until he's bigger. Also...this is a really stupid question but where exactly are they "supposed" to bite the rat before they constrict and kill? It seems like he always bites right in the middle..I don't know if that matters whatsoever, just a question lol.
Here are 2 crappy cell phone pics of him eating today. So proud :gj: LOL

Re: Sucess!! (and feeding pics)
It doesn't really matter where they strike as long as they constrict and kill their prey without putting themselves in harms way (if you're feeding live). As for switching to rats, I'd go ahead and offer a rat pup. It's easier to switch them when they are young and it's better for them and cheaper for you in the long run. beautiful bumblebee, by the way!
