She would eat daily if I let her.

Same with mine (1,1 cb'00). Recently I fed them with quail eggs, just to offer them a little snack.

Cheers

Awesome Russian Rat. I don't own any asian rats, but if/when I ever do, it will be a Russian rat that's first on my list. Beautiful animal.

They are bottemless pits, I agree. Definitely my favorite species of snake. Been breeding them for quite a while and every year Russians are the clutches I look forward to seeing hatch the most. Great looking snake!

Beautiful animal, thanks! Just amazing to see how they change their colour when they grow up.

They also like to hunt from branches as you can see in the photo.
I shot a lot of videos of my Russians hunting in which I noticed, they often avoid to touch the ground when they go for a mouse. So there won't be any percussion/vibration on the ground which could alert the prey.

Cheers
