what's it cost to feed one of these bad boys at adulthood? Most are eating pigs right?
I bought my Hog Islands Boa( which is about 5'9" now) from a guy at Monster Cages he has like an 18' retic I talked him at length about it. If I am not mistaken he told me it ate a 60lbs pig the last feeding!!!
What does that cost? What do they eat like once a month? What does the fecal matter of something like that look like? |
The fecal matter reminds me of horse crap, its huge an smells horrible. Matt from Monster-Cages has some of the largest Retics I have ever seen, I mean 20+foot giants. If you feed an adult female retic a 60 pound pig, she should not have to be feed again for a couple of months.
I have a good friend that breeds rabbits, I can get a ton of 7-10 pound rabbits for 6 bucks each
. He might even drop the price even lower if I buy 200-300 rabbits at once. As adults, 1 rabbit every 10-12 days for the burms and anaconda, and 1-2 rabbits every week for the retics sounds about right. Feeding sounds very expensive but these snakes will probably not eat during the winter "breeding season". During that time they are more concerned with sex than food, so I only really need to feed them 6-8 months out of the year.
Thanks for the compliment luker3232, keeping large snakes is work but their is no better feeling than watching T.V. while your giant python attempts to push the T.V. over "it's happened to me twice
"
