From one extreme to the next!!

Well in my small collection of 15 snakes I certainly have a wide variety of feeding behaviours!! LOL, my favs are my female garbage disposals!! Pytho, a little CH baby I got this summer will eat whatever I dangle for her as frequently as every 3 - 5 days! Shell my little 520g het orange ghost just inhaled a 175 - 200g rat that I was actually aprehensive about giving him but he is contentdly relaxing now with a good bulge in him! On the other side I have three little balls who are 2 yrs old that weigh 336g, 386g and 446g. These three all stop or severly slow eating during the breeding season and will only eat mice or gerbils, I go with mice since they are easier to get and they generally only eat one item. I have been able to get them to eat 2 if I chase (put the head of the next mouse in before they finish the first one completely) I have actually gotten a rat in a couple times this way but most of the time they drop the rat. I got others that are in between but my three Pains in the butts are the worst so far! LOL, at least everyone in my house eats mousicles now, that is at least one plus!
