now why does that bring the term bulimia to my mind?
I think having stuffed something down one's throat seems about as pleasant as upchucking it
something about the chicken . . .

I reread the chapter and it was a 19 foot reticulated python. They forced fed it for 20 years and it was a mixture of ground rabbit and horsemeat (although I'm sure a chicken or two proabaly made it into the mix as well) about 13 pounds at a feeding. he didn't say how often the fed it. They had crowds of up to 3000 people watching the feedings at times. After one such feeding Marlin recalled a conversation between zoo patrons looking at the snake in its enclosure "Man, thats one big snake right there" the first one said. "that's not a real snake" the second one said "I just saw them blowing it up a little while ago"

i personally feel if the snake is not eating food then the owner should look into as why and only use force feeding to prolong your research time.

I think, if you read back through this thread, you will find that is the general consensus of us all.
