>>>>Reminds me of when he suggested that a newbie feed her little 20" alterna two adult mice at a time a good while back. Not like that was even possible at all either. So the suggestion this time to feed a no more than nickel-sized diameter snake that is 12 inches or so adult mice would be more than TWICE as ridiculous!

>>A nickle size diameter snake can and will eat a small adult mouse.....But we all know it depends on the type of kingsnake and that a nickle size diameter snake is probably around 18 to 20 inches or so.......

I'd like someone who's got an 18-20" king handy to post a pic of it with an adult mouse. I think feeding like that is like the guys (I was gonna say jerks or schmucks) who revel in filming their giant snakes the most inappropriately oversized creature they can find, with oohs and laughter in the background )

Anyway, I wanna see a pic or two. Not eating the mouse--I'm sure it CAN be done--but just with it, for a visual size comparison. Maybe I'll be proved wrong. Bidi.
