She finally gobbled down her for first rat

[EL Ziggy]

@ BSG- I'm pretty lucky too. It's usually only my kings that will take food breaks and all of my other snakes can smash the jumbo mice they might refuse. I tend to feed my snakes fairly liberally, especially when they're younger than two, but if they get a larger than average meal or a snack between feedings I'll just delay their next meal a while longer. I'd also offer another snake a snack before I tossed away a perfectly good prey item. I try to stagger my feedings so there's always a hungry snake that's ready to eat. Tonight I'll feed 3 of my carpets. If by some remote chance one or more of them were to refuse their meal, both of my bull snakes are ready to go since they haven't eaten in a couple of weeks. Most of my snakes can easily interchange prey sizes. I have a couple that eat large rats, several that eat mediums, and all but my Bredli can eat smalls or chicks.
