    My boa is a garbage disposal. I'm sure you could have any of the larger snakes as one too but they aren't for everyone.

    I use my corns, but they take a little while to grow up before they can take things like medium rats, the one that can eat mediums is 5 or 6 years old, the others will happily eat smalls though.

    small stuff ( young asf, most mice , and young rat pups, I found a black rats ( wild caught my girl was) )will eat anything larger rats full grown asf andsuch my red tail was great, and while I had some xp with carpets they will eat like trashcans too. but the pair i had were really aggresive ( might been cause the last owner ) I luv to get a burmese but i know I would not be able ot hanlde sucha snake alone safely , and my fiancee (4theSNAKElady ) would be too small to really help me in a pinch as she only 5'1" so I won't have one unless dropped off at my door on on my truck one day while about.

    My normal bp girl is my best eater. She will eat anything and strikes as soon as I lower it in. The only snake that has been a pain is my hognose. I'm trying to switch her to f/t and it has been a frustrating road. The rest eat just fine and have never refused but sometimes take alittle more time to strike.

    My new boa has not been fed yet and his previous owner said f/t were sometimes refused. I'm hoping I have more knowledge and skills in feeding and he won't give me any problems.

    Technically speaking, king snakes have huge prey drive. But in my collection BCI hands down. Get yourself one if you have the balls (pun intended) and there will be no more refreezing of rats.

    If its a snake you want, Most bullsnakes that I've had would rarely refuse anything no matter how big or how small or how old and stinky. However, I personally use a snapping turtle for my uneaten extras, he NEVER refuses anything.

    Our rats go back in the bins!

    We do have a Hog Island Boa that will take a meal anytime of the day, every day. Also have an Argus and White Throated Monitor that will eats anything from rats to slugs...
