    Snake feedings

    So just curious, do you make your snakes work for their food? i try to give each of my snakes a little work out for their food, not just put the F/T rat it and let them strike i like to move it around the cage and get them moving before they get their food. just wondering does anyone else do this?

    x2. If everybody ate on their assigned day just ONCE I'd probably literally jump for joy.

    Re: Snake feedings

    In the interest of convenience (and not wanting to sway anyone from eating) I hand over a rat and am done. I do get my snakes (particularly the boas) out for regular exercise though.
