First rat success!
So I've had this little girl for almost a year and she has been on mice the entire time. Decided to try a rat for the first time today and she took it so quick I almost didn't even get it recorded!

The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
1.2 Coastal Carpet Pythons
Mack The Knife, 2013
Lizzy, 2010
Etta, 2013
1.1 Jungle Carpet Pythons
Esmarelda , 2014

2.0 Common BI Boas, Punch, 2005; Butch, age?
0.1 Normal Ball Python, Elvira, 2001

Please excuse the spelling in my posts. Auto-Correct is my worst enema.

Re: First rat success!
Lol thanks. After creeping around on this forum and Facebook for so long and seeing what other people have gone through to switch over to rats, I figured I'd have a hard time also

I haven't had a hard time switching to rats. I try to get mine on small rats quick, because I know I can stay at that size prey for a long time. I've got two 1100g+ feeding on mediums and two 400g+ feeding on small rats. As long as it moves, they're happy  .
1.0 Normal 1100g
1.0 Normal 400g
1.0 Orange Ghost 450g
1.0 Albino 1400g
Normals are beautiful too .

Re: First rat success!
Congrats! I know it feels good. Might want to consider feeding in their enclosure. Its much better for the snake. Cage aggression is a myth.

I read somewhere that it's not good to feed snakes in their cage because they could swallow flakes of their bedding and that can be unhealthy for them?

I feed her in a separate container and in her cage. Makes no difference to her but she takes food quicker in a separate bin. My male I always feed in the cage.

If they don't spit it out first, they will digest substrate. They digest bones, fur, and guts lol.
