    Corn ate all of my live feeders!!!!

    Alright, so I have a ball python that ONLY eats live. I was about to offer it the weekly mouse. I had 4 adult mice in the bin. I didn't even pay attention to the fact that I had taken out my adult snow corn about a half hour before and had put it on my bed as always to crawl around.

    So I accidentally left a small corner of my mouse container open. I come back into the room a few minutes later and discover all four mice are missing and my snake is HUGE. Like gigantic. ARGHGHG!!!! There goes $12 in feeders!

    What a pig lol!!!

    They were all in a deep bin so I imagine that the snake just picked them off one by one.

    Oh my god, well that's just pig-like of him!! Kind of impressive how he spot out where the live prey was at, but definitely a loss of the feeder mice .

    I was impressed myself. I set the bin of mice on a small coffee table across the room. I was gone no more than 15 minutes!!! I am absolutely sure there are no loose mice either. He ate every damn one!

    I am sorry, but this is amusing me. I just had to get over my fear of feeding a small rat to my BP, it seemed so huge, but not bigger than him. He is pretty much useless until he smells food.
    This to me just sounds like a snake with character. Hahaha, if you could see me I am giggling. It is nice to hear about the amusing points of owner pets. Crap happens sometimes. Sometimes, it is the crap, that happens. And sometimes it you have a dog or snake, that are counter surfers. I am glad you are taking this with a grain of salt. It's a snake, it had oppurtunity, and sure sounds like a piggy.
