This Is Part 2 Of My Young (About 37" or 38" Inches) Female VPI Blood Python Eating A Rat

your snake looks like a sausage (not good) and you are feeding it a HUGE rat.

How often are you feeding it?

I agree that rat was too large but it was all that was going to be available for about two weeks and she was hunting around in her cage a lot. She is definitely huge at the end of this video but she is very healthy and is a good size for her age.
Thanks for the feedback,

Sorry I forgot to reply to the second part of you reply She gets fed whenever she is hunting around and looking hungry (usually about 5-7 days after eating depending on the size of the rat) this was by far the biggest rat she has ever eaten she usually gets smalls or mediums but like I said in the other reply this smaller large rat was all that was going to be available for almost two weeks. I meadured the width of the rat and it seamed reasonable enough but I could tell it was going to be a feast for her.

Nice !!!!

I Love how you stun the rat.

So many people feed live when it's really unessasary.

It's humane to the rat and the blood avoids injuries.

Thanks Feeding live (not stunned or knocked out) rats can be risky business because unless the snake gets a perfect bite on the head there is a good chance that your snake will be bitten. I never just throw in a live rat even though it is exciting to see a snake hunt down its prey it's not worth the risk in my opinion and for the most part I have seen many snakes temperaments change for the better after people make the switch to stunned, F/K, or F/T.
