    Switching gears.

    Kev has had his 3rd meal of the year. Each snake here is fed infrequently, however I have continued to increase prey size as they age.

    Last night he took his first jumbo rat. I will not feed the jumbos to the boa. I will to the Bredli and eventually the Brissy. I'll finish the few that I have left here and switch to rabbits. Rabbits are better all around. Quail will always be on the menu.

    Here's the boy in low light having a whack at his jumbo. I was surprised how fast he took it down. That's carpets for you.









    ALL carpets are more than capable of taking very large meals. The doesn't necessarily mean you should push them. I do believe they will develop and grow differently when have variety of different prey sizes and selections.

    The head shape/size changes from what I have observed here.

    This summer will be interesting. Once fall comes around, feeding stops until spring for everyone except the Royal.
