[Abrahamalga]

Well guys I made this vid...using several techniques in one..and they worked out for me!! But Im kind of sad because in other forum they told me "your vid is garbage...you are just an amateur" (more or less words)!! Please check it out and tell me if it true!! Please see the whole video only lasts 2:30!! And please try to use it if you have to!!!

PD: THE VID STARTS IN STEP 2....I don't recorded step 1

YouTube - Feeding troubles?? No more!!

Please be honest!! !!

I like you vid but then again I'm a newbie myself LOL
Hopefully on Sat my reluctant starving snake will respond as nicely as yours

Your video is not garbage. It documents a method of getting a snake to eat that was successful for you and may well be beneficial to a new owner of a bp that has not been eating.

The only thing I would recommend is using feed tongs. If your snake misses the strike or the rat cools down too much, the next thing in line that has a heat signature and smells like a rat is your hand. I'm glad you found a technique that works for you...

The information is good, particularly the part about scenting the room and moving out of eye sight as much as possible. A additional suggestion: -- Hold the mouse with tongs in a more natural way... not hanging upside down by the tail. --

I would add is if you snake simply doesn't want to eat, there is are no tricks that will work. Usually the owner is the one who is stressed out about the snake not eating... the snake is fine with it.

Good video.

I agree with the others that tongs are the way to go. Your heat signature can easily be mistaken for a dead mouse and you end up getting hit. I have been bit dropping in a live rodent so one could easily get nailed with a pre killed one.

Yes, I agree with everyone, tongs are going to keep you from getting bit! (Ouch!)

But I think that unless your snake is not eating live then I don't think they are being that "picky". Either the person feeding isn't being patient enough, or maybe the snake just doesn't want to eat. Snakes are hunters and eat live in the wild so I think we are the ones being "picky" and making them eat dead. Yes it's convenient but when suddenly they won't eat f/t we call them picky and get frustrated with THEM when they are probably frustrated with US ...

Anyway, yes, your video was very good and you are correct that patience and love is the key.

I can definatly agree wuth justin. Cause I gotta say, I was very stressed out

[Elise.m]

I agree with everyone else... Tongs are the way to go! The only thing I would suggest is saying somewhere that you choose to feed in a separate container, and that it's ok to feed in their enclosure.

Other than that, kudos
