Yes the smell is in the top of the worst. My old neighbor died and we found her 9 days later and this reminds me of that. So.so.so gross

im sorry, fortunatly i havent had to experience that smell, but i can imagine its not that far from this

Its times like this I'm glad I feed live. I don't have to deal with that problem anymore. I just can't believe some snakes actualy eat them all busted open. But my girl is so picky about her meals hence why I feed her live.

i usually feed my bp live, but he got bit in the neck a while ago, so im doing prekilled now, but i thought i'd try f/t for the boa since she doesnt have any scars yet, but i'll probably switch her to p/k since it'd be cheaper for me

Well you know my girls already got scars from hr tape incident a while back which is getting close to being healed. She hasn't gotten bit yet tho. She is pretty consistant at wrapping the throat and contolling the head. I worry more about the mices nails than anything at this point. Little clingy b@stards.

well thats good, loki isnt all that great yet, she grabs it everywhere, butt, stomach, shoulder, she doesnt care, shes a killing machine with the mindset of "its only a flesh wound" lol

Haha

I usually thaw them in the fridge. Then take them out and let them warm to room temp, then put them in 110 degree water for a few minutes, let them drip dry and feed. Works well for me.
