He eats F/T - wouldn't let my Pythons eat live. All my snakes have been brought up on F/T. Easier to keep too - just buy them and put them in the freezer. I swear there's more snake food in our freezer than there is our food LOL.


Bobby the Rescue is underweight for his length (about 34"). Byron is still a baby and measures about 20" - 21" approx. Both snakes let me know when they've had enough to eat - they turn their heads away from the food or start moving in the opposite direction. Equally, they let me know if they're still hungry - the rhythmitical flicking of their tongues is a dead giveaway and they sit with their necks in an S shape raised off the floor looking at me expectantly LOL.

The only thing is both BPs have a distinct preference for mice. Byron's moved up to 2 medium sized mice. He's just on the small side to try him on weaners, but I may try him round about Christmas with a weaner. Next week, I'll feed Bobby a weaner and a medium/large mouse and see how he gets on with that.

I will be weighing them both again on Friday. I'm keeping a close watch on their weight, especially Bobby.
