I hope your vet is on the Gold Coast because i would hate to ever take one of my pythons to that vet If what he said was true why is it that pythons will always prosper when fed rats . Now i sell both rats and mice so have nothing to gain either way but i have 2 coastals here from the same clutch ,one went onto rats early and i had problems getting the other to take anything but mice.
The one on rats is a third as big in length and twice as big in the girth . Don't let any body convince you that rats cause fur balls . They are pythons natural food and i adult rat would not have as much fur as 8 mice , but would contain more calcium and the snake would take longer to eat a full grown rat and therefore exercise the jaws more .All i can say that is a load of b--s .
Barry.
