Beautiful Diamond. It could probably go up to fuzzies looking at the photos, her jaw isnt opened nearly as wide as it can be.

[rubydimond]

cool i might have to do that, after all im sort of flying solo. the shops dont give you too much advice. yeah sorry if the photos are of poor quality i was trying to not upset bundy too much

Nice photos. Do you realise that he is eating the rat upside down?

[rubydimond]

is there a certain way to feed them the rat ??
is the first week of having him

[dellywatts]

No it's not your fault that he ate backwards. It just happens sometimes. Most snake will search for the head and eat from the head first. He must have been realy hungry and just started eating

You need to be careful of choking when they eat from the feet first, especially when he starts to eat fuzzys (it's something to do with the way the hair runs, can get caught - so i was told).
Him eating backwards might just be a one off. My snake sometimes tries to eat from the stomach of the rat sometimes (like sideways) then he realises that it won't fit!

[rubydimond]

thanks heaps for the info. these sort of things you dont learn untill they happen and offten its to late. thanks heaps.

True.Thet eat it head first (usually) so the fur and legs,ears etc are pushed backwards.Nothing to worry about though everyones has done it at one stage or another.
I have also heard that if they eat it backwards that it can be a sign that the food item is to small.
