Nope.. No Skininess here. These guys eat like the rats they feed on. A lot and often when given the chance. All 3 are hovering at about 4.5 ft give or take right now.

As for the biting. My largest female is pure EVIL! She's bad enough that if I don't want my hands tore up I have to use hooks with her to deal with cage maintenance. My male is mellow but the 2nd female is a mix between the 2. Bitey when first reached for.. but alright after being in hand for a minute or 2. The only true oddity I've noticed with mine is they refuse to switch onto rats.. alive, fresh killed or frozen thawed. They'll only eat mice. Not a big deal since I breed all my own food but still.. a little odd for all 3 of them to have no interest in rats.
