I find it hard to believe that folks still argue on issues not even related to the topic of this thread but it is a lot of fun to read the posts.
Well ai fugured you may be interested to know that I moved up my 4mnth old girl from fuzzie mice to small rats. It nailed the rat right away and it took her good 20 min to swallow, but shte did.
Some of you may ask how come I didn move up to small or medium mice or rat pups and the answer is that at the Petco where I get my roddents from there are onlylarge mice or small rats. I bought one of each and the small rat was 80 grams versus the mouce which was 100grams. That actually turned out pretty good because I wanted to switch her to rats as most of you guys said. My snake weighted 164 grams before the meal and 242 after the meal . (the 2 grams were used up in the swallowing process which seemed to be quite energy consuminghttp://picasaweb.google.com/drugaria...34561495995714
