Re: Random youtube video, but serious question...
I remove my hides when I'm feeding also. Mostly due to slithers refusing all kinds of pre-killed and I dont like when slithers is in her hide and the rat tries to run in there with her. Maybe I'm an overprotective parent but I'm afraid if it goes in there with her for .0001 seconds I'll lift the hide and find a half eaten snake lol
Either way, it doesn't seem to bother slithers, and camille was eating live when we got her and since she's sometimes a picky eater we're taking it slow on getting her to FT food but we take her hides out as well (switching her to frozen thawed soon hopefully)
