Feeding Response Balls VS Bloods

[aureptiles]

Hi all,

Just wanted to see what your thoughts are on feeding response between the two pythons. Which is a better/easier feeder?

My balls will eat live most of the time, and F/T on rare occasions.

My bloods will eat anything you put in their tubs - live, F/T, stuff the cat dragged in . . .

I've seen a video on Youtube of a blood feeding - he slammed a rabbit so hard it looked as if they both cleared the ground as the python was coiling!

My blood never miss any feeding but my Ball are very much depend Blood have the best feeding response compare with Ball

Bloods have a very strong feeding response, while Balls are sometimes picky eaters. I've never came across a picky eating Ball so to me it is unlikely to find a picky eater unless you're doing something wrong.

I've heard stories of some bloods being picky, going off feed etc. just like balls have a reputation for.

I have yet to actually hear it from someone firsthand however. I think it is fair to say that bloods are pretty good when it comes to a feeding response.

Lets just say my bloods get to eat whatever my balls don't. ALL of my bloods eat without a problem. And they hit it hard to boot.

thank you guys, looks like i should get a blood for the purpose of waste management.

They shouldn't be used as a disposal on a regular though.

Their metabolisms are SOOOO slow.
