My first post. Heres my Pythons

The humiditys fine because its quite a good sized viv.
The chicks are really cheap, alot cheaper than the rats and mice.
The digestion was fine. The beak is actually alot softer than bone so it was no problem for them.
I keep them together because I only have that one viv for the Balls. But they get on fine (I feed them seperatly).

Wow have you ever had any issues with them refusing rodents?

Feeding fowl~ I'm wondering how their excretement changes? Is it runnier or smellier? I've heard that feeding fowl to boas can sometimes have this effect. Also, I'm wondering what the protein difference is (if any) between rats and chicks. Great looking snakes!

The snakes are lovely.

Bit hesitant whenever I see them housed together though.

Same with feeding chicks, but at least you have a back up if you do not have rodents. Just be careful that they do not imprint on one or the other.

Good luck with them.

the "availability" of chicks is subjective, for a chicken farmer or hick, chicks NO PROB, middle of toronto? good luck

Ive never had a feeding issue with them.
Your right though, the excretment is a bit runnier. I dont think theyre as good as rodents as far as protein goes but as I say, it was only a last resort.
Thanks everyone

That's a pretty cool shot of the BP eating a chick. I've never seen that before. Have you ever had either one imprint on chicks?
