How do you feed?

I just always worry about them getting bit by live. I know it happens in the wild and usually it's fine, but I don't want my snakes getting torn up by a big rat.

Thats why if I do I always watch. There has been one time I was afraid the mouse was trying to bite the snake on the head so I reached in and held it's head back.

If it looks like your snake is about to get bitten then just put the back end of an ink pen in their mouth.This technique always helps me to avoid prey bites.

I usually just smack them against a wall to break their necks lol. All of my breeder animals only get F/T.

LIVE!!!!! i love the action i jump every time they strike still. and ive had a bp for almost 2 years now

I feed the babys live. But once the prey item gets larger and poses a bigger threat to the ball, i try my best to switch to f/t.

unfortunatly i have to feed live, my rescue BP has Apsolutly NO feeding responce to f/t, it scares the crap outta me though cuz damn feeders have BIG teeth...lol

f/t here. I'm afraid to put a live one in with him. I've heard horror stories about mice biting the snakes

and there are ways of preventing that. When our rat pups get big enough they will be fed off to the balls.

live. I couldnt handle thawing a mouse out. And touching anything dead really grosses me out. for some reason i will never get bored watching my pythoneat live. Fascinating.
