Ball Python Feeding Tube..Not what it Sounds Like..lol

...So I was bored thinking of a way to feed my snake live but I don't like putting the rat in the snakes enclosure ..I am also not a fan of feeding in another enclosure... so I came up with an Idea.. the photos below are self explanatory ... I can easily slide container out if need be for the snakes safety as this was one of my concerns ...the first attempt was a success as he went down in the tub, struck and then actually pulled the dead rat back up to his enclosure and fed...

.... thanks ....and I am satisfied customer as well !!!

Really really clever! How did the engineering of the tank-to-tub go? Did you do it yourself or co-op with someone? Inquiring minds need to know, lol.

.... engineering consisted of add hole and pray snake did the rest ....lol :D

This is incredible!

That is really cool!!

..... I have a cap that fits in the hole that gets covered with the substrate so he won't go down in the tub when not feeding .... no sharp edges all rounded off...

Ingenuity behind this is quite admirable :gj: pretty cool stuff!

...... It took him a little while to figure it out, I'm hoping that after a few feedings he'll get familiar with the process of locating the meal. If it ok to do so on the site I'll try to get some video footage of him going into tube then going back up into his enclosure.
