And the rat is down! Yay! I know they can do it, but it's pretty hard to visualize them being able to eat something so big. Especially with their skinny little necks. This was probably 3 times bigger than the biggest mouse he's had. The pet store was seriously underfeeding him & I didn't want to jump right to rats with him. This was his 4th feeding with me. I feel much better now. Thanks guys!

Glad to hear it went well. When I got my first snake, I was underfeeding him with pinky -mice- because it was the size of his mouth. I felt HORRIBLE once I learned that they need to eat things similar in size to their girth. Needless to say, my little guy has come a LONG way since then, and he's powering down rat pups with no problems.

Yea, now I'm wondering how he'll fit in his hide with a full belly. LOL!

Yep those skinny little necks stretch wider than a teenaged boy with a burger and fries lol. Its amazing watching them get something that you think is huge down though. Glad he ate and good luck with him.

The snake should pound that easily

It took him a long time to get it down.
