...Yikes I thought Id gone over the top on that offering; that DoR splendida...nice color match eh!, but in my defense...one of the ?'s I am intreagued by is can & do snakes evaluate prey size suitability? Do they learn & will this result in changes in behavior over time? A well fed snake shouldnt perceive the need to perform the desperate acts that typically lean wild ones we know will resort to; for example the recent python/alligator incident in Fl.

Anyway, update; In a mere 4 days shes gone from immobilized & grossly distended, to rapidly out-processing it, going into blue, & for the last 2 days has been able to crawl about again.

Pretty incredible machines... RxR
