Well my big lad has hit the kilo mark and has just moved up to 150 gram rats, every 10 days for now while I monitor weight gain on them. He took his first (156grams) on Sunday and wow he handled it just fine. Amazes me how their neck stretches.

Wow congrats - good old Duke!

When I see them scarf down a big rodent it always reminds me of the verse about the pelican - his beak can hold more than his belly can!

Except royals have pretty capacious bellies too...

He sure knows how to eat does this one, he may be shy but he is a hungry fella. Point to note though, the bigger the rat the more they STINK!!!

Well he surprised me, he refused his meal last night, a most unusual event, I checked him today and he is as blue as a freezing cold and depressed smurf. I think that gives him a good enough excuse.

Sanke shed last night and I checked Spot today expecting a smelly pile and was greeted to another blue snake.

So let's get to the bottom of this ;)
Does duke go to bite your head off Like once every month ;)
For about a week ?

Have you had duke sexed or did you buy him as a male from a shop/breeder?
