My Mick and Sheila was Fed Yesterday and...

I noticed something quite amazing. Keep in mind, Mick is a yearling and a mouse eater for now, but I gave him a full size adult mouse yesterday and he took it no prob. When I say full sized adult, I mean breeder size. Sheila on the other hand is already on rats and I gave her a young pup. After watching Mick eat his meal, I am fully convinced Sheila can take a weaner no prob. This is good becaiuse it was allow both of them to grow even more as they get bigger meals than they had before.

Carpets are amazing in what they eat. My Jerome eats two weaned rats and however many fuzzies the royals don't eat. He's a pig. Next expo we get small rats for him and Mario, my boa.

Yeah well Sheila is definitely going to graduate to weaners next time. Not bad for a yearling.

I have some that are feeding machines, but when you have a few of them you are bound to have one that will drive you crazy.

Re: My Mick and Sheila was Fed Yesterday and...

that's true I only have the one. He was my first snake and I have to admit I probably won't get another BP I am more partial to boas and arboreal/ semi-arboreal snakes
