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.
