The woe to the feeding error! I now have 2 bps and one is on FT the other is on live. The new one is very undernourished and starved. She will be great now that I have her. I was scared too for a while when I got my first snake. Then there was this one day that I was feeding her. It was the second time she ate a rat so I knocked it out because the first two times I tried to feed her rats she thought they were too big. Her second fresh killed rat was the first time I have been snake bit. I expected way more. I thought it was going to hurt and I thought I would freak out. Well the snake knew when she hit me that that is not what she wanted to eat and let go right away. It was more or less like a paper cut. She is 2 1/2 foot.
