First feeding M 22" JCP

Fed my jungle carpet today. They said he was big enough for rat pinkies and has already been eating f/t. So why not.. it's better to get them on rats early. so..

Rat pinkie attempt #1. gripped by back of neck with tongs, made it run around him 2x and by the second time he was already alert and tasting the air. then i pulled away and wam.. bite, grip, twist and after abotu 30-45 seconds.. he began swallowing, it looked big but it wasn't much bigger than his midsection. just his neck...
30 seconds later, it's in his belly...

amazing how uneventful it was=)

but that's good too.. so i know he's a good eater.. again, till next wed.

Awesome to hear that he's eating well. Too often you hear horror stories about people trying to switch from mice to rats, or from live to pre-killed to frozen/ thawed. It's good to hear that some people don't have to worry about that.
