Well, I was guessing at the weight of the rabbitts, but after all these replies I weighed an average sized one and it was 9lbs. I would not want to feed her more than nine pounds of rabbitts at a time. Like I said, she is ten feet in two years, I am certainly not trying to limit her growth. I know better than that. I just don't want a fat snake.



Someone else said I shouldn't feed her everytime she gets cranky. Well, she is always like that first of all and second of all the gets fed every other Saturday, consistently. She has a huge cage where the whole front opens. If I tried to feed her through the front she would eat my face. So i built a feed door in the rear of the cage and that is where i drop in her prekilled rabbitts.



The same day I posted this first thread, she came across the floor as usual when I was laying on the couch, and struck at me! I moved my arm in time and her whole face latched onto the couch! She was stuck and I was so mad at her for trying to bite me again, but I had to patiently removed her teeth one by one from the fabric. She left a couple behind.



She's like a dang pitbull. Maybe if she doesn't calm down I'm going to ave to put her down and start over with a calmer baby. I don't know.
