I feed live to my Rosy, my two corns and my ratsnake. It is very interesting to watch the Ratsnake have at a mouse(he's on f/t weaned rats because that is what I had on hand), because he doesn't coil around it, he just bites and lays on it! Very neat! The Rosy and the Corns just coil and constrict for about 5 minutes straight(well Rowan constricts the poor thing for about 10 minutes JUST TO BE SURE it's dead....dork).
