A Different Prey Item for the Black Headed Python

I was at world famous budgerigar breeder Daniel Lütolf's place the other day. Unfortunately, I did not have my camera with me to photograph his beautiful collection of birds. While looking at the cages, we have noticed that one of his prized females had passed away. It is breeding season and things like this unfortunately happen as breeding is tough on females. I asked him what he would do with the bird and he told me that he was going to thrash it so I took it as snake food. I froze the bird for a couple days to kill the potential parasites and used it in today's feeding.

Here are some pictures:







I also shot a long video and I will post it next week.

In the meantime, here is Mr. Lütolf's website.
