I just picked up a 2011 male albino this past Sunday and fed him for the first time this morning. I thawed out a rat pup and got it real toasty with a hair dryer. Grabbed the rat with some tongs and bam he struck it immediately and wolfed it down. Really happy considering the breeder was only feeding live mice and he took an f/t rat on the first try. Hopefully he will keep this up. BTW his name is Skipper (my boys name all of our snakes).
