Just did it again today. This time with my Malaysian Female. She did really good until i was done and putting her back in her tub then she nail me. Juggernaut the big male Malaysian i just soaked and he went in the water on his own. I noticed the other day that is vent looked push out like he was going to poop on me. Then last night i noticed it was like that again. So i checked my records and neither one had pooped since October so i soaked them he went no problem. She needed a little help.

They i just went threw my records and they both have only eaten 13 rat pups since i got them. They went from Jan 15 to Feb 29 without eating as my rat guy lost every thing and the pet store was out when i try to get some. On the Feb 29 they got two each and i now have 5 month worth of rats in my freezer. So back to one a week.

The little male Malaysian has eat 19 rat pups and poops about every 6 weeks.

Aaah, that's the ticket right there. Pump the little buggers right-up if they'll take more. Most baby Bloods don't really go anywhere until they're about 4 months old (when they shed their first skin) and even at that size they can hold a few of those per meal.

The brongs looked about that size in the video I saw, so I'd say they'd easily hold at least 4 per meal if they'll take them. I'd probably even go for 6 if the little monsters are up for it.

By the time they're about 10 months old they can *easily* hold a small rat or two, and with a couple of meals at that size they're up to large rats by a year old.

Here's what Bubbles was eating at each stage:

1-2 SM rats/meal

1-2 LG rat/meal

1 XL rat/meal

You'd never have that problem again

A friend of mine did this with his ETB and the Vet said he should not have done it, because he will hurt the snake. I have done this before and never had any issues. I'm glad you posted this, because it works. You just have to be gentle when doing it.

If they'll eat that many, I think you'll find it makes a huge difference and they'll stay nice 'n regular. I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya
