thanks terry for confirming this..about fifteen years ago, i raised a a neonate mussarana to a 7ft monster..i live in toronto, canada and we found some in a pet store!!!!..they were trying to feed them crickets..don't ask me how they got there..you are right, they get long and heavy and are extremely powerful, the ultimate snake predator in the snake world..steel coils is the only way to describe it..kingsnakes pale in comparison..after six months of feeding this baby on garter, dekay and water snakes i decided to put a mouse in with it one night when the lights in the cage had switched off..within in a couple of minutes there was a bang on the cage glass and low and behold the snake was coiled around the mouse which it later consumed..from that day on it would eat pre killed mice as readily as snakes..the only problem was that the mice had to be fairly small, as the gape of a mussarana is not tremendous...bye 4 now
