Very nice!!!! Yeah, when you put a rat in their face, they are some of the most INCREDIBLE feeders on earth aren't they? Absolutely vicious feeding response.

Great looking Taiwan! I LOVE their strong feeding responses, probably one of the most interesting snakes to watch feed!

Country:
I had a big male once that was like a big puppy unless he was hungry & then it was bite everything to see if its food. When I went to trade it he didn't get fed for a couple of weeks prior the reptile show so he could be transported "empty". When me & Kyle went to bag him, he bit Kyle like 1/2 dozen times in about 5 seconds. It was quite humourous actually I'm like "Watch out dude", meanwhile Kyles getting tagged like crazy & I didn't even get it once & it was my snake! Moral of the story, watch your fingers when they are hungry & watch out when your friends ask you for a hand for you may get it back all bloody! LOL Mark
P.S. pretty much lifesize in the pic too

Thanks for the replies! He's definitely one of my favorite snakes. Very inquisitive and active- more racer like that rat snake like. He's only tagged me once in 8 or 9 years and it was totally my fault. Stupid feeding accident (I was slinging a mouse and the snake missed) that resulted in just a minor laceration as he was only around 4' at the time. The weird thing was nearly a year later when I noticed a red spot on my knuckle that kept itching. I figured it was a splinter or something and pulled out a centimeter long tooth! Poor guy broke his tooth off in me and I didn't even notice. Now I've got the LONG hemostats for offering prey because I never want to come between him and a rat!
