What did you feed him?

What did you feed him?

I fed him a F/T fuzzy mouse

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?

exactly how does you're snake swallow it's prey?

[Lucryth]

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

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?

Im assuming that cuz of the pics hes thinking the snake didn't. But by the end thats how mine looks as well, and I feed live.

Just never seen Murdoc ever rise up like the little guy in those pictures is.

Haha, no guys he constricted his food, i took pictures as he was swallowing it, although it was f/t he didn't constrict very long.. I'm juts happy that my little guy ate.
