Thanks for all the nice comments

What was wrong with the last batch of snakes you had? I've heard bad things about the eating habits of het pieds
Well they were just as balls are. Eating fine for a few months, then just stop for a few weeks, then starting up again. Some where real rat-slayers and others were really picky. The feeding response of balls leaves alot to be desired compared to most other boas/pythons, as we all know. Patience really is the name of the game with balls, and I will try harder this time around.

Now I have some other snakes in my collection (thrash cans!) aswell, so now I dont have to get pissed over an un-eaten rat
