So what we refer to as normal carpets are mostly from the northern parts of Aussie.

I guess its the latin name thats getting to me... Every species/subspecies has a latin name, if we refer to normals as variegata then thats gotta say that they come from northern Aussie.

Froot I fed the BHP last night or rather he hunted for himself while I had him out Caught a rat that had escaped into the snake room unbeknownst to me and was hiding behing the tanks. I heard this commotion and there he was hanging at the back of a tank and wedged against the wall with the rat in his coils.
He is very much a constrictor. The rat was too big for him to eat but he hung on fiercely when i tried to get it off him. He has surprisingly strong jaws. He coiled around it just like my other constrictors do. I ended up cutting off its head (the part he had hold of) with him still hanging onto it and giving him another prekilled smaller one as a consolation prize. He ate the head of the first rat and then ate the other one too.
This is the first time has has eaten a rat. Before this I fed him mice. Guess he needs to move on to bigger things now.

Congrats!!! Always good when they start going onto bigger and better things.

Jeez, sounds like an enthusiastic feeder. Maybe pressing their food against the side of a burrow is the only option available to them in that environment (duh!!), so if there's space theyre perfectly capable of coiling their prey. Thanks for clearing that up
