Well after having Fluffy for 10days and feeding him for the first tine after his settling in period he took a pinkie with no messing about what so ever, he tried to find a route to escape first but with no joy, he then found the head to the pinkie a bang with in 5mins it was gone, I am ever so happy as this is my first snake/reptile and reading info from this forum I think so far I am doing a great job, thanks evey1 that supplied me with great advice. |

Thank for that let's hope pooping and sheading will run just as smoothly, fluffy is showing signs of sheading so let's hope everything goes well!!! |

Cheers! When they do start constricting, they do it quite quickly! I dropped the feeding tongs because his strike was so quick.
Here is another couple of constrict pics.
