    For future peace of mind, a snake won't eat something that's too big for it to eat. They aren't that dumb lol.

    well he didnt start off very well in eating it tried to eat the butt first but the tail wouldnt fold enough to get it in his mouth lol so he struggled trying to get it to the point he could eat it. kinda had to laugh when he tryed to strike his water bowl first lol

    Haha, over time you will realize how much these snakes are just like garbage disposals and anything you put infront of them will be eaten. I've fed my snakes some rats i thought they could never eat, yet 30 minutes later they are looking at me for more!!
