Power Feeding

[fidzy]

my 9 month old 1.5 meter MD ... i just fed it a 700 gram rat ... check out the pics

that feed looks too big for the snake
u do realise its very unhealthy to powerfeed snakes dont you

[hornet]

mate thats not good, not healthy to power feed

[fidzy]

hw will be fine, i feed him one every 7 days and he is shooting up

That size meal looks fine, I've seen snakes with much bigger bulges in their stomachs than that.

[cyclamen]

if u say so

the feed is ok, but not for weekly, and 1.5m at 9months is far 2 big, my yearling coastals are about 80cm

[cyclamen]

my 2 year carpet is only 1.5meters....

i give my rats growth hormones, so my snake will bulge up. i want him to get big quick

my 15 month old coastal is only just over a metre..

i have a boy approaching 4 years old this coming season and hes only 1.2-1.3m atm, my 3 year old girl is just over 1.5m, i cant see him living very long being 1.5m at 9 months

if u want a big snake, then maybe u should have brought a adult. its very obvious you are new to keeping snakes and dont have its health as its number one priority.

whats your reasoning then behind that meal being too big? Not picking an arguement but obviously you've had some negative experiences feeding large prey items to snakes.

i think hes just *****ting us, where would a normal person get growth hormones from?

[fidzy]

dont worry he will be fine
