tonight i gave puja her second rat pup........ she grabbed the head moved it around a bit, then each leg and pulled on them, then it looked as though he was chewing the rat pup up..... after all the playing with the rat, he ate it.
it was kind of funny, i never seen a snake play with its food...LOL

How much does the snake weigh? Sounds to me like the snake needs to be eating bigger meals than a rat pup. It most likely could not constrict the small food item. Hope this helps. Jon
