    Murdoc does not take food like that.
    Then again I feed strictly live, one hopper every 5-7 days.
    I don't think I've ever seen a snake just swallow prey like that.
    Maybe cause its f/t?

    Strikes, kills(suffocates), starts on the head and works its way down to the tail.
    Its not F/T, its live.

    Re: Update on little Spartan not eating

    Hi,


    I'm obviously missing something but what makes you think his snake didn't strike and constrict the prey before beggining to eat? Was it in another thread or am I just being dense as usual?
