Went & picked up this little guy/girl today. Its only 8 or so weeks old & has fed twice in the shop since last Sunday after its trip back from Hamm. Its only taken little pinkies so far so will try a larger one on the next feed & see how it gets on.
I have also just experienced my first four snake bites...more like sucks really!! Its a fast little bugger & does love a strike, it even tried to swallow my thumb!
I'll get some clearer pics when its settled in.

Thanks Boom, & it only cost me £95! Guy in the shop screwed up & said he would do a good price for me for being a good customer. Even after he realized his error he stuck to the price. |

I just gave it a large pinkie & it was gone in no time, I've been reading that they can take prey three times the width of their own body without any trouble.
Anyone had any experience with this? |

yes they can eat some big prey for their size my ones neck is probably a bit thicker than a little finger and easily eat's day old chick's, he usually folds them in half as well |

Going by the pics id say mouse fuzzys would be about right for her I would stick to feeding something as thick as her thickest part for now till shes grown a bit |
