Informative pics, Derek. I have also read about the high fat content in mongo-sized rats resulting in "fatty liver disease". Mine take about 3 medium rats a week, also. It is tempting to give them more because they always seem ready to eat, but I do not. They are always exploring their cages two days after eating. At first I thought they were just hungry again. Now, I truly believe that these snakes actually have some brains and are just damn curious about their surroundings. I had my largest female out in my back yard yesterday and a mockingbird flew down within 10' of her. She actually raised up her head and stared at the bird! She did not go after it, but just followed it with her head for several minutes. Now, tell me snakes are cold-blooded slugs without any brains!! I do not think so.
