I have the same experience as Dennis. I have an older female that's been feeding on chicken and quail for years. I also have adults, larger animals even, that hadn't had fowl before this year. In the time it'd take a newbie pit to puzzle out their first chick, this older female could toss back a bowl full - like popcorn.
Such skills, she'll take two at the same time.
Ain't no 3 legged chicken neither.
Good to know john and I love the pics. Also know that I am loving Ursula, thanks. Love her attitude.
T- Looking over my feeding records I started feeding my all of my carpets chicks when they were right at 250g. It's mostly just the feathers that make the chicks look big. None of my snakes had any issues getting them down at that size.
Last night Shag took the quail no problem. He did hesitate striking just for a second as he has seen nothing but rodents until now, but he did strike hard and luckily had the head so he was off to a good start for swallowing.
