Anybody ever experience this? On Sat aft, I did my normal weekly feedings for all my animals. I also fed my circleback babies, and everything seemed normal. I kinda remember one of the 7 being extra fiesty, and seeming like it wanted more than the 2 pups I gave it.

Anyway, I come in sun morning to check on things like I always do, and Im down to six babies and one is bloated beyond belief!! It ate one of its siblings!!!!! Im still shocked by this!! Obviously Im glad it was something more valuable, but it is still extremely bizarre to me!!

Ive been around boas for 15 years, and was always of the mindset that they did not do this?? Im assuming it must be a fluke. Maybe the one that got ate regurged and lost the batle for the pup?? Dunno...very odd.
