i've seen those pictures before,but everytime i see them again,they never cease to amaze me 
thanks for sharing mate
i'm always trying to convince new keepers,that carpets will take up to 4 times their girth,i think i'll reffer them to this thread,to proove how much larger than their girth a snake can take
i'm sure theres pictures kicking around of a scrubby eating a kangaroo...!!
cheers shaun

Definitely mate, I've seen the pics of a scrubby taking a roo, there's also a pic of a coastal with a large possum in it's belly bout 8x the girth of the snake
Have you been to Denver's site, he has a white one that all BHPs would be measured by, there was also a bumblebee kicking about for a while here till some (insert inapproriate language) stole it and disappeared from the hobby before it could breed.

Re: Black head python
wow little greedy thing! my cp is afraid of anything big, even though she could take a rat right now if she wanted. Shes curious about it when we offer, but eventually just bumps it with her nose and tries to run away. She HAS eaten one before! i guess she didn't like the indigenstion. She seems to only want mice now. So, we give her large mice and she stuffs it down. We keep trying on the rats. I'm waiting her out right now to try a rat again. Plus she just shed, so maybe she thinks she's a big girl now (40 inches!)

imo the best way to get her on rats is to NEVER offer her another mouse
at first she will hold out looking for mice,but once hungry she should take a rat
try scenting the rat with a burst open mouse
or your going to need a huge amount of mice to feed an adult coastal mate
imo its always best to get carpet pythons onto rats as soon as possible.from the egg if you can
the older they get the harder it can be to cross them over from mice to rats
patients and perciverance is the key and never go backwards by giving in and offering a mouse.it just puts you right back to the start mate
