How about taking your snake for a walk?

It's about 17 feet long and still growing. More information here:

When I read the news about this snake, I am intrigued by one item. It says that the snake only eats one rabbit once every three weeks. Sounds like a very low maintenance pet. Is that true that snakes need so little food and yet can grow so big?

Once that size, that is a good feeding schedule. The vast majority of pet snakes are overfed in my opinion. When younger and growing rapidly, its best to feed a bit more often, and slow it down add they get close to adult size. The exact frequency varies with species and individual animals. The true giant constrictors, with indeterminate growth, are in a league of their own, since they never stop growing.
