I agree too! You just have to remember things can heat up a little when people with different opinions come together.

Flame thread? no. Flame posts? yes, and they were uncalled for.

Well I must say thanks to those that set me straight on the difference between rat pinks and pups.I checked Google and realized 2 things. First I was ignorant about small baby rats. And second I can make a killing by purchasing f/t Online and selling them to my local pets store! I will also save like 6bu KS per feed. So thanks again!

Whilst some posts were a little more .......blunt...... than others i wouldnt suggest that any were "flame" posts.

There are always lots of strong opinions on this forum and sometimes they come across in written form to be fairly aggressive, the points are all there - just a little rough around the edges.

Hey, just for back-up...i got a ball python from the pound today, and suspect he has an esophagus tear! He's a big guy though, but that was the first....well second thing i thought of in how he acted while trying to eat!

Really sorry you lost him

If it was a mouse pinkie, he might have needed day old pinkies? Few of my hatchlings couldn't have taken a normal pinkie their first few feedings or would have ended up like that. What's odd is that he ate that size before though. How long after that feeding did it happen? I think that would explain a lot. If he had just died within hours, I would think it's unrelated to the food, but if he had been trying to get it down and couldn't, it probably was the food.
