Feeding live rat question

[unhip_crayon]

My first question is what have you been feeding it for a year? How great of a feeder is he?

Some of my snakes I can tell before I ever put the rat in that they are going to eat because of their behavior when I come in the room with the rats(scent). Many are 1/3 out of their hide in ambush position and will hit the next thing that drops near them, thats what I call good eaters.

My ball does the exact same thing. I've actually trained him to poke his head out when he's hungry. At first it was bi-weekly and some, now its weekly.

THanks for all the tips.
