[DeesBalls]

Last night, Kerrella got her 1st small rat. i thought it would be a good idea to get a few pics, well i went over board and decided to make a progression thread..

wont be the best because she took about 40 min. to eat it, so all pics are in same general location, here we go!!!

Great pics!

It's funny how brb's like to drown their food. Mine has done it a few times too :)

[DeesBalls]

LOl mine always seems to eat it in tin water bowl, Haha.

[KD35WIN.AS.ONE]

hey lil boa, how long is your BRB?

[DeesBalls]

The last shed was 3 foot 8 inches, so I'll guess about 3 foot or so.

Have the snake stretch out and measure it, sheds are a terrible gauge for the snakes length.

Great progression - i guess from the above comments he lowered the rat into the bowl? You didnt put the rat in the bowl then he ate it?

I know that. Thats why I said I guess. :):) ... I do really need to measure all of them. I am however almost positives that she is 3 foot.

And yea, she took the rat in the bowl. Lol.

Yeah, the whole charm of eating dinner underwater escapes me. But then, so does eating it all in one bite. ;-)

Great picture story, LiL Boa!

[stephanbakir]

Fed an annie a few days ago that stayed under water for 15-20 minutes, its kinda scary to be pulled under water and squeezed while drowning (he was fed a F/T rabbit)
I don't think the water acts like a lubricant but under water the animals might have less solid ground to push against?

[Max713]

I love pic progressions :)
Beautiful boa.

[marvelfreak]

Cool pics! My BRB done this a couple times.

[serpentshideawa]

My dad bp will start squeezing on the bedding then moves into his water bowl as well and to op thats a gorgeous snake

[DeesBalls]

Thank you :):):)
