I got to take these after all. i had to replace the paper towels so I carried my camera out there with me. Do ya'll think that is to big of a prey item. After looking at it I realy do not think it is. I think it's bout right. Maybe a little to big. I might have to go buy some more rabbits if he digests that one.He is starting to get a good weight on him. I'd say he is half way there on the weight. I wish he ould shed soon so he will shed the blisters off his belly from getting to warrm. Yea, I confess I did not keep good eye on the temp. and it did get to hot one day. Most of the blisters are scabbed over and some are just well, blisters. He should shed soon though. It has been about a month since he shed. Well, what do you think. did the brain smearing method work for this one lol.

he wont regurgate it..it'l digest nicly..my advice just go out and get more 3-4 rabbits..but maybe limit to 1 or 2 times a month..nice albino..i just purchased an 100 pound male..(albino) the last owner fed him likean huge quantity of rats.and he wouldnt take a rabbit..so i have to trick him inot eating one..i'm just gunna smere a rat all over it..or just give him one rat then the rabbit..or just wait the snake out..nice animal by the way

Yea, whenever I run out of feeders I will meet the guy somewhere and get some. They are only $4 rach if you buy a few. I will feed him another when the lump is gone simply because I do not have to worry about him getting obese. He is still on the scrawny side, but not nearly as bad when I got it. His ribs were protruding and the backbone was very very visible and was dehydrated. I canno wait till I get a big female one. Soon I hope.

I agree with stephan, Justin. Your snake shouldn't have any problem, but I wouldn't go any bigger for a while. I would feed your snake a rabbit every two weeks. Good luck, Todd
