8B8ll...no it was actually almost the exact same size around as he was, but I do agree, it does look pretty big in the picture. He usually eats weanlings, but that's only because I don't see much need of putting him in any more danger from a live rat than need be (and he's not that big, 500 grams or so). I tried F/T and he looked at me like I was stupid; he's definitely a live kinda guy. Thanks for the replies everybody!
