    They are opportunistic feeders, is this supposed to be shocking?

    Cool to see, but I would expect that they would do this. If a ASF wanders into the nest in the wild, I reckon it does not wander out.

    You mean other than the fact that I don't think I've ever seen a Ball Python sitting on eggs constricting a rat before.. YEA it's shocking!

    Honestly, I think it would be more common if more people did more maternal incubation, and offered a rat. Like I said, they are opportunistic feeders.

    I'm not surprised either. But nice photograph though!

    I've seen a few posts here on maternal incubation. And everyone who has used this method has seen mothers on eggs strike at feeders.
