Taking your non-feeder for a car ride

I've heard this before too - I'm pretty sure that when I heard it, it was recommended by Sean Bradley and worked for the person that tried it as well.

I found it hard to believe as well, but it seems to actually work.

This reminds me of a remedy I hate to admit I've used...I get TERRIBLE hiccups. Friend told me douse the flame of a wooden match (you know, kitchen safety matches? strike anywhere kind) in half a glass of luke warm water, then drink slowly.

I hate to say that while I LITERALLY have tried everything else, this works.

But I can't imagine loading up my bp in the car for a ride around the block...:confused:

Hahah..Whatever works for you I guess!

I have some methods I use to get snakes feeding, but none of them include strapping them in to a car seat and going on a scenic tour of NJ.

Have you ever tried not using the match trick? Just drinking luke warm water slowly. I think the match is just a placebo effect...

You should have someone trick you someday thinking your drinking match water LOL :8:

Awhile back I posted about my het pied not wanting to eat. The car ride was recommended and I tried it and the little sucker still wouldn't eat. We are at somewhat of an understanding at the moment but then again I have threatened to give him to my cats to play with it if he won't eat....

I had a girl off feed for 9 months while i was at school last year.... I made a 2 hour drive home for the summer with all of my snakes and she hasn't given me problems since. I've never had this advice given to me before.... who knows if that was the case... but she eats every single time now.
