THANKS GUYS.i always feed them a rat the size of the mid section and sometimes i feed them 2 rats per feeding.i only have one that strikes but hes been like that since i got him from the breeder he calmed down alittle but strikes at me if im clean his tank. the others just are very alert and they see movement they act like they seen food but realize its just me.i never been bitten by any of them (KNOCK ON WOOD) but just wondering if you could feed more then normal.i like to ask alot of questions and im sure i come off as i dont know anything about snakes but i know alittle about alot and still learning.im new to the whole breedind thing and all so i jjust ask dumb questions that make me look like i dumb.but how do you learn if you dont ask questions.i thank all you guys that respond to any of my post.
