Amazing what pits can handle

I have a little male pac gopher, 14" when collected in March (probably a late '07 hatchling that barely got to eat, if he ate at all, before winter came) - he's about 19 inches now, maybe a tad under - and weighed 60 grams at his last shed (on the 17th).

I started him out on two fuzzies a meal, and recently moved him up to two hoppers. He only eats live, so I'm at the mercy of the pet store when it comes time to feed him.

Yesterday - they were all out of live hoppers, but they did have weanlings - so I got him one, figuring he might be able to handle it - but would take him awhile.

Not only did he handle, he wolfed that sucker down and was looking for more!

Pits are an awesome snake - everyone should have at least one!
 
My yearling male bull is the same way. He can scarf down 2 large rat pinks and will be looking for more. I learned the hard way not to try changing his water bowl when he done eating. He even bluff struck at me with a rat pink in his mouth!!!!
 
LoL - they are really cool! I had a 'friend' deliver a cute hatchling gopher to me last fall. I kept that wee girl through the winter... she was awesome!!

I've always wanted bulls, but just haven't gotten around to purchasing one or three yet.... :D eNvy reptiles is here in Utah and boy do they have some pretty stock...I keep meaning to contact him!

Enjoy!
