Gluttonous snakes

[Coleslaw007]

Does anyone have any ball pythons that you feel would eat everyday if you offered until they just couldn't swallow another rat?

My mojave and my bumblebee I'm pretty sure would. Both take F/T too. Best snakes ever <3

Koko will act like shes starving and "beg" for food 10 minutes after eating a small rat. I've been pretty sure she's going to bite me a few times, she gets so excited thinking I'm feeding her.

I know this is not something that should be done frequently, but I've fed her and Grace the last 3 nights in a row (small rat 1st night, hopper 2nd night, then another small the 3rd) because others were feeling peckish and wouldn't take them and Grace and Koko were looking at me every time like they would have nervous breakdowns if I threw out the rats I was offering instead of feeding them. Koko was so excited on the 3rd night I had barely gotten her tub open and she had grabbed it and constricted it in her water. I looked in a few minutes later and she had had to give up on it cuz it was now in the bottom of her water and couldn't swallow it. She was just staring at me like all hope was lost. I took it out and warmed it back up and offered it again AWAY from her water and did the same omg-I'm-starving-to-death grab and and had fully eaten it in under 2 minutes. She keeps this up I'm considering renaming her "Fata**"

After the 3rd night of being fed Grace curled up but Koko was "begging" and acting like she's starving again 15 minutes later. I seriously think she would eat until the last rat's butt was sticking out of her mouth and still be trying to swallow another.

I'm gonna let them both chill and digest at least a good 5 days now. I wish all snakes liked to eat like this

Thats a whole lot of food. Should prob give them a couple extra days to digest.

My Cinny thinks he is a BOA, he is a grabage can. I feed live so when one of my girls refuses a meal he is always "willing" to snatch it up. Never gets fed on consecutive days though, just saves me from buying rats specifically for him.

Yeah the benefits of having a lot of snakes is I never have to worry about wasting food.

My spider is a absolute hog, and I love her for it! She's gonna make some nice bee's!

All 4 of mine eat every week for me f/t. The only time ive had one skip was my pastel girl when i first got her. She struck the rat into her water bowl then decided she didnt want it.
My cinny boy is especially aggressive though lol. Eats f/t or live, mice or rats, rat scented jelly donuts, etc...

That's Koko, I really think she would eat until the last rat's butt was sticking out of her mouth and still be trying to swallow another.

It surprises me too, when we first got her and a couple others as babies she was addicted to mice and it took a while scenting just to get her to touch rats and then she was weird about F/T for a little bit. She had her own bag of dirty mouse litter for all her meals for a while. I thought then she might be a problem eater. Boy, was I wrong.
