Doug, yes, they do have an insane feeding response. I think pound for pound, (or ounce for ounce) they are one of the strongest snakes.

If I take a F/T rodent and simulate movement in front of them, they constrict so hard it looks as if the head of the rodent is about to explode. If I place a rodent in without any movement or stimulation, they still hit it hard, but don't constrict.

I picked up mine when they had a little bit of size on them, but they are growing at a pretty decent rate. Steve







>>I just love their cute little eliptical(cat eye) pupils too!

I've never owned any personally, but several friends I have own many of them, and tell me that they have a voraciously insane feeding behavior. Is this what you've experienced with them as well?

Also, I and many others think that dark snakes that have that that iridescent shimmer are spectacular looking too. Reminds me of my Indigo's back in the early 70's.



Those suckers sure are tiny as hatchlings, but sure get up to size quick because of their eager dinner table habits..LOL!

Was this the case with yours too?
