That is awesome!
I'm new to snakes, and have been amazed at how much they can fit into themselves. In fact,I was timid in feeding my Florida Kingsnake an adequate size meal for awahile, but the folks here educated me.
A question - how long did it take for that snake to it that meal? And, after a meal that size, how long between feedings?
I know people differ in their feeding habits with their snakes, was just curious.
Thanks!
Ray.

Thanks. The mouse I was feeding was 17 grams.....the snake is only 48 grams. So I'll let hime take atleast, 3 or 4....probably more, to digest it. I usually feed him two hoppers every 4 days. Taking this mouse took almost an hour. It was definitely his biggest meal ever. Quite an adventure for the little guy. Pretty cool pic yourself.
