    How carpets mangle rats

    Caramel Coastal Carpet Python, male, fresh out of shed tonight got to feed, and boy he was excited! He hit his med. rat so hard that he literally ripped his stomach open and kept going. Bloodiest feeding I've seen in a while, thought I'd share a moment.

    Nice! When my lesser did this, she refused to finish it:


    Shows how carpets are much less pickier i guess since yours was way worse and he STILL ate it lol.

    Haha, awesome! My carpet hits hers hard too. I've started 'hook training' her so I can safely get her out - anything that moves in her enclosure is considered a meal, and is hit hard and fast. She kills faster than any of my other snakes, and is so impressive to watch maneuver her prey in coils while dangling from a branch
