New To Feeding- How to?

:lmao:
Brilliant. All of you.

see the snake owns the spot light.........and now he owns the rats too

you know were just picking on you and I think its cute that you try and make it a little less drastice to feed.

I know. ;)

Wait your a Sgt and I'm a Pvt. Wouldn't that be fraternizing with an officer.. EEhh who care's your cute and have herps so its all good

Well personally....
I myself pray in arabic over my live feeders before I introduce them to my snakes. I pick out a nice live mouse or rat and proceed to stroke its head and mutter about how it is going to paradise and I say stuff like "Inshallah " and "Allua ackbar, God is good, God is great , all praise be to God " and then I toss the hapless rodent into the feeding box and watch Apok or Trinity or Oracle or Cypher nail the rodent and constrict it. Feeding...the way God intended it....

Now....back on topic. David, if swinging mice around your house isn't your thing, or you don't want to deal with f/t, then grab a cooler, a cup of water, and a little chunk of Dry Ice. you now have a home made gas chamber. put the mice in the cooler, put the cup of water in the cooler, and put the dry ice in the water. close the lid....and it's a very humane way to put down mice. Hope this helps.

If you choose to use f/t you can also thaw by putting it in a plastic ziploc freezer bag (or double it up just in case) and put it in a bowl w/hot water. You may have to change the water a couple of times. I put mine in a chinese soup container (the prey is in the plastic bag of course) and place the top of the bag over the edge of the container and put the top on. This way I can fill it with water and the mousie/rat package is totally submerged. I don't have to employ the mouse dance method with Sophie, she's not picky....but some snakes will not eat w/out being entertained first! :wink:

Nope, a Sgt is still enlisted rank. You all would be fine :)

How long does it take for the snake to die in the gas chamber?
