I am switching to weekly feedings. She is ALL OVER her tank tonight and I can only imagine she is hunting. I got her out and it was like the night I got her (3 wks. ago) - she was very mobile, checking every small little hidey hole, you can tell she is looking for something to eat. It is very easy to read. So she gets one tomorrow after tank duty and then a quiet weekend in her hide.

I feed live. I enjoy watching, but I hate the killing, if that makes sense. I hate marking one of the little guys at the pet shop for death, but I love my snake more than my remorse. I've read on here (you all are a great resource) that they are shy about it and are picky eaters sometimes. Not my Dasia - the whole family has watched each of the times we've fed her.

I have concerns for both the heath of the rats from the pet store and the last one kicked a little and I was worried about scratches. I live in a small town and have, at present, no alternative. Dasia is quick, efficient, and aggressive so I think she can handle things.
