yea he is a big boy and yes im lucky with him switching back to rats from gerbils but i only did it like 2 times the owner of the local reptile store told me that is what they eat in the wild and that would get his feeding back underway and yes im glad he did switch gerbils are 8 dollars a piece so yea his butt better take a dang rat as i have plenty of those for him. i do watch over all my snakes while they eat since they do eat live so no biting for them and usally the snakes dont give them long enough to bite them b4 eats get them.
