    Jeckyll and Hyde feeding response

    Hey all, thought I would put this out there to see if anyone has experienced something similar. My 7 month old BHP whom I believe was a slow starter on feeding has had a significant change in his feeding response which I haven't come across with any of my other pythons.

    I know they do it from the front but I've never seen them do it from behind.

    So like the yeti and the loch ness monster I've heard the rumours about snakes eating rats from behind, tail first. Until today I had never seen it. My new boy BHP had his second feed with me today and took two fuzzy rats the first tail first the second head first. None of my others have ever...

    Snake missing most of it's tongue

    Another thread about a flighty snake made me think of this, here's the story. A friend of mine bought a male BHP, great condition and awesome colours. He was told the snake was a bit 'flighty' when he bought it. That's the under-statement of the year as far as I'm concerned. Imagine the worse...
