anacondas are biggest in girth not length, retics are biggest in length. The longest snake ever recorded was a 32 ft. reticulated python

@Obscurus28 I wouldn't have the heart to to smack in on the wall I will just do frozen thawed

[Obscurus28]

I feed my BP live he has never had frozeb before i do this because its cheaper and a lot less of a hassle of thawing and storing, also, if ur worried about the mouse hurting the snake smack it against the wall to stun it, that way it wont bite ur snake.

@justsomerandomdudeya you are basing your knowledge on one bp, he is probably basing it on many. Its like science you need many control groups for your anwers to accurate

[ballpython1995]

i also feed frozen thawed maybe once a month or 2 i might give it a live one just for a treat ill start that soon..maybe ;)

[fwoggiesroq]

actually the biggest snake was 49 feet :)

[justsomerandomdudeya]

I always feed my bp frozen and he loves it and shows no signs of weakness and has no issues. So to any other bp owners that feed frozen, don't take this guys word for it.

@kaleluk31 but like the guy said in the video.. it kills vitamins when frozen

most care sheet writers are those care for every animal "type'a" guys but what they dont understand is they eat meat and stuff just like most other things on this earth

im one of those guys who couldnt stomach seeing/hearing a mouse/rat die

but yet i strongly advise to people who wouldnt know how to suppliment the vitamins lost when freezing the prey :)
