I fed my big gal of 7' boa a hairless rat for the first time, and you know how they nose it to test the fur direction, well she mouthed it mid section shoulder and then rear, starting eating the rear and the foot got caught on her tooth and she let go and started to probe with her mouth again and finally found the head, it was a challange, anyone else have this finding? I have the series of pictures if interested.

one of my adult burms a long time ago grabbed an adult VERY large rabbit in the mid section and folded it in half and swalled it like that. I was like OMG that was amazing lol.

Personally I don't recommend the hairless rats as a regular feeder rodent...the lack of hair may cause problems, sort of like taking the 'fiber' out of the meal.

Yeah, from experience with baby BRB's eating Pinkie rats, the hair is like the straw in bricks, without it all you have is slimey mud.

Im pretty sure that snakes dont digest the hair at all (one of the only parts of the rodent NOT used)
This is why a lot of guys with bigger boas feed Pigs etc
