Sooooo I bought this retic to eat up all my rats that got too big for my ball pythons. She finally is at a point where I feel comfortable feeding her my largest male rat, that rat was just too big and ate more food than he was worth keeping around LOL. I'm using mainly smaller males to breed to my females now. I actually had several big rats that I gave away to the pet store for free about 8 months ago, that's when I decided to get the dwarf retic. Lucy is about 10 pounds now, so that's about 10% of her weight, I assume that's probably the max size rodent to feed a snake this big? I actually gave her a small rat first, it was almost too small, she didn't even want to grab it and ended up just putting her mouth gently around it. Then when I opened up the tub with the big rat she almost got my hand OOOOOOooooooo! She immediately took that big ol rat, didn't even look that big compared to my girl Lucy!
