I'm concerned that I'm doing something wrong because out of the five that hatched only one has started feeding on their own.

  7. How to kill the rat

    I rescued a 7 foot red tailed boa. My first snake. She seem very finicky about her rats. The last one died before I got to feed her. She seemed to love it more then the live ones that she is always trying to run from. How do I kill these rats that I have waiting on hand?
