    I don't understand; why are you grabbing the tail as the snake is constricting it?


    Also, what song is playing?

    Also, do you feed in a seperate enclosure?

    You need to feed bigger meals...It took him forever to position the rat because it was too small.

    Do You know what he weighs in grams?

    From the video it looks like he could take a big rat crawler...?

    Absolutely never heard of it. It's definitely not necessary since none of the thousands of members here has mentioned doing it.

    You're going to have to clean the enclosure sometime, though. Totally unnecessary.

    That's 136g. He could eat a 20g meal. Definitely something bigger than that. It was smaller than his head!

    I wiggle the tails after they strike too.....Just so they get a good grip on it.

    Also, he could eat an adult mouse no problem. If you keep feeding him small meals like this he will not grow.

    Mouse blood in the enclosure? who cares. Wait until you have a godzilla poo. Mouse blood will seem like nothing.
