Assist Feeding??

Thats why you don't use hemostats to do so. I used my fingers and once it was partially in her mouth she proceeded to swallow it the rest of the way. Its not like I rammed it down her throat lol

I personally dont think you should ever resort to assist feeding. it really stresses out your snake more than it really is.

Why make it sound like its hard task. One of the easiest things to do when getting them started. Why would you be feeding live mice pinkies to a ball python

Why would you buy them know this? lol

Well she just took her first meal on her own. Looks like maybe the assist feeding triggered something after all.:banana:
