if it'll fit in his belly his gob will have no trouble

I love watching my snakes walk their mouths round enORmous looking food items. It's amazing how far their lower jaw will stretch


ps-how long/heavy is yr snake? is he quite chunky? rat weaners/jumbo mice are often equivalent size- not sure what the advantage would be in the change? I offered my 3yo male a rat weaner and he turned his nose up and went on a protest fast until I went back to offering humungous mice

and you thought there was no such thing as a stupid question....



1.2.0 corns: captain haddock, sharon the tiddler and Darling Debbie. plus 0.2.0 cali kings: spot and Numpty... not forgetting the delightful Miss Lovely-Gonzalez-La-Poop apricot pueblan milk snake, and we all miss the Lodger who thought he was a cobra....
