my BP Zeus ate his first rat today, it was a small rat, about The same size as 2 large mice, but he ate it just fine!!! there was no hesitation, but i dangled it about a foot away from him just to see if he was interested (he is in shed). AND HE NAILED IT!!!!! i was going to kill it first, but i didn't get a chance to... took 5 minits to kill it though... (no chance of a bite from rat) BUT he did it!!!im soooo proud!!!! now ill spend $4 a week for his rats
. but still he eats rats!!! also, he will not take pre killed, he ONLY eats live or fresh killed. i do 99% of the time feed fresh killed. this is the first in months one of my snakes has killed something! tell me how you guys felt after your snake ate it's first mouse, (even though it is only a feed) I still think it is cool!
