I noticed something quite amazing. Keep in mind, Mick is a yearling and a mouse eater for now, but I gave him a full size adult mouse yesterday and he took it no prob. When I say full sized adult, I mean breeder size. Sheila on the other hand is already on rats and I gave her a young pup. After watching Mick eat his meal, I am fully convinced Sheila can take a weaner no prob. This is good becaiuse it was allow both of them to grow even more as they get bigger meals than they had before. :)

ugh my GTP is a mouser she wont even sniff it if it smells of rats to the point I cant feed her and my rat eaters at the same time. Such a pain.

Carpets are amazing in what they eat. My Jerome eats two weaned rats and however many fuzzies the royals don't eat. He's a pig. Next expo we get small rats for him and Mario, my boa.

Yeah well Sheila is definitely going to graduate to weaners next time. Not bad for a yearling.

I have some that are feeding machines, but when you have a few of them you are bound to have one that will drive you crazy.

that's true I only have the one. He was my first snake and I have to admit I probably won't get another BP I am more partial to boas and arboreal/ semi-arboreal snakes
