Parallel circle looking parts are ribs, not really circles, of course, more like "C"s with the open part along the belly. Wavy parts running mostly lengthwise are the heating elements woven through the fabric of the electric blanket, then wadded/twisted up into what you see. The doctor's pen is pointing to the control box for the blanket.

Anyone have a python? I'm wondering how long it took to eat this thing -- and where the owner was.

Sad thing was...snake ate the owner a week before he ate the blanket. No one cared about the owner.

It would squeeze the hell out of the rat... that could be fascinating at times. But then it would take a VERY long time to make sure it was at the head of the rat, then very very slowly swallow it down. It would take it a good hour and a half to eat 1 rat. Eventually you reach the point where you just toss in the "critter de jour", watch long enough to make sure it doesn't some how escape and Sam (now well over 11 feet long) does go for it, and then you leave it alone. But the electric blanket in the pen was a reallllllllllly bad idea. My brother consulted a zoo and they said either radient flooring for the pen (which has gotten huge now that Sam is 11 feet in length) or specialized heat lighting with special shields to keep him warm. One really neat thing he found in some pet supply place was a big heat rock... it was ceramic and looked just like a 1 foot by 3 foot slab of rock, but it plugged in and you could control it. He bought 3 of them and then added some cermaic fishtank rocks for texture (Sam likes textures to curl around) and Sam now has a neat heated place to keep warm. Now having said all that, my bother has spent a small fortune on this moving boot leather... but he does love the thing. And before anybody starts writing a nasty letter to the above comment... I love the big moving boot leather okay? I house sit for him and his wife whenever they go on vacation, just to take care of Sam. BTW, as the final irony... as it turned out... "Sam" is a girl... we just never bothered renaming "him". LOL. Acroyear
