My python eats like I do...
Ok, never again will I send someone to get a rat for me, I will just do it myself. But my bp impressed me when it got down a rat more than twice its size!
It is quite full, and I know he is a pythin, and he can handle things like that, but that rat was fit for a 4 footer, and he is a couple inches longer than 2ft.
Just thought Id share. I would show some pics of how fat he is, but I dont have my scanner moved into the new house yet.
Oh well...

Pythons are desgined to be able to eat prey much bigger than themselves. And LOL, i highly doubt he eats like you do, you swallow your food whole too?

He'll be full for a while then, funny if with he now gains another foot! However it is unlikely : D

I fed my 2 ft bp a small rat (it looked HUGE) and she is now in shed!!!! I'm going to wait to weigh her till after she sheds, but I hope to do it before she poops.....
she refused her meal last week, so it's been atleast 2 weeks since she ate......hope she takes it this week..........

I was watching a show on discovery or some such channel and I saw a retic that had swallowed a pig. The villagers had killed it because they were scared it would or had eaten one of their children. They cut the snake open to see who or what was inside...it was a pig.
You should have seen how fat this pig was! It must have been two fee in diameter. It would be like a ball python eating a cantaloupe. ~~~~~~O~~~~
The point is...we would all be surprised to see how big of prey these snakes can actually eat.
