Can you feed your bp more then once a week?

OK, a funny feeding story.

At one time I had a mouse colony going tofeed my snakes. Way back ages ago when there were only a couple of morphs and nobody could afford them.

As mouse colonies often do, I hit a period where there was an unusually high number of pinkies and fuzzies. Way too many to grow out, and I didn't have anything amongst my reptiles which was eating pinkies and fuzzies.

Ever have on of those 3am "one beer too many" bright ideas? One of those "what if?" moments? I did.

I went through the mouse colony and thinned out the pinkies and fuzzies, gathering them all into a bowl. I took the bowl and presented it to my 4 1/2 foot long BP, Kaa.

Kaa looked at that bowl of writhing mice, flicked his tongue over it a couple of times here and there, then began eating the pinkies and fuzzies like they were popcorn. He didn't strike or try to constrict, he merely selected a mouse, picked it up and swallowed it, then selected it another one.

In my beer induced slightly hazy euphoria that was one of the most wonderful things I had ever seen. I pulled up a chair and watched that python eat the baby mice one by one.

It still makes me laugh when I think about it. Snakes will do some majorly unexpected things.
