This guy has been keeping me super busy lately. I come home from work the other day, he’s fine. I pop in the room mamybe two hours later for something and it reeks. He peed and damn near floods his boaphile. So I get him out, scrub his enclosure, scrub his water dish, put down new paper etc. then I have to rinse him because he reeks, although it wasn’t nearly as much of a chore as I had thought it’d be. Get home from work the next day, all is well. Checked on the snakes before bed and sure enough he’d done it again except this time he crapped all over also. So I repeat the whole scenario from the day before. The next day is absolutely feeding day since Sonny pooped because now he’s began to rub his snout raw and trashed his usually righty encloser. So I give him a 1lb Rat which he takes with gusto, but he spends all night searching for another. The day or so after - he’s peed all over again. This snake is putting me to work.
Heres some one recent pictures
The last two are right after feeding, and you can see the lump the rats left. Based on his behavior and lump size, I’d say he’s about ready for a bump in meal sizes. Any experienced opinions? I’ve got 3 XXL rats left so after he eats this week I was going to put in a new order. I still have the 5lb rabbit but that seems a bit extreme
