To tell you the truth I wouldn't be suprised if some of the morphs out there aren't half retarded or slow from all the imbreeding, I mean really, look at humans. Some that are imbred have downsyndrome and other visual defects, but some look “normal” and they only have an IQ rating that barely gets them to homo sapien status. I'm sure the same has been done with snakes. I have owned alot of snakes and I have had the same problem as you. I have stuck the prekilled mouse or whatever in the cage, let the snake “kill” it again, leave the room for 20 mins and comeback only to see my snakes mouth around the mouses a** and spit it back out and start searching for the nose again. Only snakes I have seen take down prey quickly are burmese, anacondas, african rocks, alot of boas (some where slow as molases in winter though) and green tree pythons. In the end though it's not a marathon. Just be greatful they don't choke on it LoL.
