Ok...These seem to be a regular questions asked on this thread.

First: FWC are bulky snakes(about on the same level as a Bullsnake or a King. They are large (poss max length of 11 ft)

Feeding is individualistic, but usually there is a STRONG FAST feeding response (watch your fingers!). Mine (a four foot male) will eat 1-2 small rats every two weeks. Netonates can be occasionally difficult to get started. Mine have allways started on fuzzies, but I have heard of others that started on fish. Misting netonates is benificial.

Temperment can be anything from docile to highly territorial. Occasional specimens will hood and thrash violently when you get near and then calm when you lift them out with a hook.

I was bitten by mine on the hand (when it was about 3')when I lifted my snake out of it's cage with my hands. I experienced a severe burning sensation that lasted for about 15 minutes.
