Posted by: snakeguy88 at Tue Aug 19 20:30:31 2003 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by snakeguy88 ] I agree...I mean, a hognose might gorge itself when it finds food but think of how often food is not available or at least plentiful. They go weeks, even months, without eating while waiting for their next meal. They have to stuff themselves in order to last. In captivity, this instinct is still around. And it can cause trouble. Take a look at the what kind of snake forum as the corn snake I just got. It is 4.5 and has been fed jumbo rats (yikes) for the past while...it is now horribly obese. If you want to let your snake "pig out" so to speak, then give it a while off to digest and get the mouse out of its system. Obesity can cause all sorts of problems, and as mentioned a common one is liver failure, though other problems can arise as well. But to each his own . Happy herping. Andy [ Hide Replies ]
