Thanks everybody.

I just hope i get to keep them. I was just reading the Dangerous Animal ban they are trying to pass here in Illinois. It Bans all pythons and boas. You have to get a permit to own each one and $100,000 liability insurance on each one. They are trying to Ban just about everything but domestic cats and dogs. If i read it right i have to have a permit to buy rats. Pet Stores will be closing up left and right.

So here's some new pictures of them eating.

Then a few of Juggernaut outside for the first time. (in Shed)

There we go! Now that I've seen what it's eating, I can safely say don't be afraid to double the size of those food items, but just 1 per meal to start and see how that does the trick. Of course, I'm assuming you can get your hands on larger rats when I say that though, lol.

If that size is all you can get, I'd probably pump about 4 of those into it and see if it's enough. It may well need 5-6 the next time. Don't forget, I'm a larger meals with more time between them kinda guy, so you have to take anything that dribbles from my fingers with a grain of salt, and sometimes with a barrel of the stuff

Reaper in the first picture ate two. Won't touch the third one. Bloodstorm in the rest of the feeding picture ate three, but would touch the fourth. She was empty because she the one i had to milk. Juggernaut i just put in the water and he went after a few minutes. Juggernaut in shed and only ate one wanted nothing with the second one.

As for size i have bigger rats. When i order them online i was off on their sizes. They where a little smaller than i thought. I am just using those rats up before moving them up to bigger as they are my smallest snakes.

Yeah, they can be funny about food sometimes, which is another reason it comes in handy once they take bigger items because if it's big enough, one seems to satisfy them.
