Had one of my male mojaves who is a picky eater take the rat pup and stuff it under the aspen so I couldn't see it anymore.. I never bug him because he is a picky eater, but I started smelling something awful, filled my whole condo with this smell.. I always check the morning after to make sure he ate it, I looked in, didn't see anything, was happy and moved on with my day..

No, it was buried, and it was so awful! I never want to smell that again!

I don't use aspen anymore...

Not true.

my worst one was like umpteen years ago when i feed alive rat to my bp she went off and constricted it to the point one of the rats eyes ................came out..not just a little but all the way all over the glass and all....nasty! eyes dont come off glass easy:O

I've got a couple,

One time when feeding this Hognose I used to have he made the pinky burst its guts out, which was a tad nasty, although I don't get grossed out by that stuff.

Another time I was trying to feed my male normal Ball python a jumbo mouse (F/T) but he wouldn't take it, but something sort of odd happened.. I guess you can say the mouse had her menstration cycle:rolleyes:

Ever forget to take a refused F/T out?

Yeah.

Don't.

It was a tie between that and when my first snake regurged. I have seen and smelled many a nasty thing. And I'm a nurse, so when I say that, believe it. Far nastier and smellier than most people know is possible. And I experience these things quite often with an iron stomach. But that literally made me vomit. Granted I was pregnant at the time and just out of my weeks of hyperemesis, but still. It was gross in a big way.

Ohh yeah, I didn't even know that would ever happened. Definitely different from the usual nose bleed I get from F/T rodents/

When we first got our male rescue he was very very sick. We'd never owned a snake before and I'll admit we didn't do any research before getting him. SO I'd never dealt with F/T before but my vet told me to thaw it in hot water. Well it was the first meal he had taken from us and my boyfriend was dangling it by the tail in his tank and he came up and tried taking it by the stomach away from Mike without striking and then changed his mind and took it from the face instead. He had ripped the stomach wide open and its guts were hanging out and he smeared it all over his enclosure. Luckily he got it all down without it falling completely out.



Let me just say I like feeding live SO much more than F/T... I never forget a live rat, and the F/T just smell sooooooo bad when you do forget.
