Good news and bad news. Bad news is all the baby rats are dead. Good news is they were eaten by the snakes. Noose is still trying to buddy up to the food. No interest in eating.

Now I’m not bragging about this part I swear. I have 2 ‘06’s. They took the baby rats like they hadn’t eaten all winter. The change over went fine.

I think I realized why I feed in another container. Two of the four slammed the sucker into the wall. They are housed in glass and I feed in a plastic file cabinet type thing. Here’s a question for the Cinnamon owners. Do they feed aggressively? All of my snakes calmly sit and wait for dinner to stroll by. The “unproven” Cinnamon comes out as soon as the drawer slides open, mouth wide ready to hit anything. And when the second comes in, she is just as eager.

That which does not kill me postpones the inevitable.

I also have a ball python that is a very aggresive eater. I feed her live but i dont have to worry about her getting bitten (allthough i watch anyway to be sure) She will also accept Fresh Killed or knocked out but has no interest what so ever in f/t food. But when i say aggresive i mean the rat very rarelt makes contact with the floor of the enclosure before she has it wrapped up its pretty insane. She is a dark normal maybe something different but i doubt it i have poop luck lol.
