[Snake lover 3-25]

yup sorry lol

Holy cow..that sounds huge..i had no idea a ribbon could get that big.

Oh, I haven't been feeding medium rats, just saying she could take them. She gets multiple adult mice.

My opinion... gartersnakes should not eat that much rodents.
Fish and amphibians are their main food.

And it is better to not feed the largest preys that they can eat.

I really would like to see pics of that giant ribbon.

I have a female radix that could eat a small rat if I let her.... haha! Kyle sent her to me because she was refusing food too often for him...

man... for a snake that does not like to eat... she sure sucks down 6-8 fuzzies, 4 or 5 nightcrawlers and a couple pieces of fish every feeding awfully willingly!!! She was a bit thin, but not any more!!! Now she is mad at me because I have stopped her meals because this weekend she goes to bed!

[GartersRock]

Lol Shannon!! How could you!!

I feed my snakes a diet of mainly various types of whole fish, fish fillet, worms and rodents. And I prefer to give them multiple small prey items. Just makes good sense.

I'll have to get pics of her... I don't have that great an access to a camera right now.

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

Howabout you mail her to my house... I'll take pictures of her, in exchange for... her!

[GartersRock]

Lol!!

I also am waiting for pics.

The biggest snake in my entire collection of 90 or so eats medium rats. She is a 5 foot+ Pacific gophersnake, eats rats at about 140 grams, pretty comfortably.

it's hard to imagine - want to see this monster ribbon
I do have a couple of 3-yr-old garters who have no problem sucking down adult mice
