Mike,
Thanks for the comment, I agree that metabolism plays a big part in the size of a snake. I guess I was amazed at how much fat was in a rat. Rats and mice are the basic prey item of the majority of snakes, maybe snakes need that higher fat content in their diet. Their metabolism is so different than ours, maybe the extra fat keeps them going between meals.
This is all speculation, I'm just throwing ideas around.
By no means am I debating you. I watched that in another post and want no part of it. Haha
Later,
