Re: Well...I did it.
Very clean pattern, the yellow will get even brighter with size and age.
I fed my first carpet python similar-sized prey relative to body diameter as my other snakes, and found he (?) grew faster than the other species. Then one day I found he had escaped his enclosure and was feasting on a tub full of breeding mice. Had already swallowed 6 and had the 7th/last one in coils, and would have happily finished that one too if I hadn't interrupted the binge.
Up until that point I had been feeding 2 large adult mice, figured it was time to switch to small-medium rats instead. I haven't weighed the beast, but he's grown from a hatchling to about 6' in just about 2 years I don't think I've stunted his growth by not feeding larger items.
