Great sunday morning

I get woken up this morning to my wife telling mt that something stinks. I wake up and OH yea It stunk! All my guys ate so no funky rats left overnight. But it unmistakeable rat FUNK!. The the search begun.


Oh I found it quick :puke: Man any one who has never smelled a regured rat left in a 95 degree encloused tub at 45% RH.. :puke: needs to just once. Funny thing is I didn't even gag it was like ok rub sleep out of eyes, tub change, check the snake throw the rat out and the go eat scrambled egg Sandwitch. :D You got to love snakes to be able to do that.


Man it was nasty.

What else is worse is thinking the snake ate but in fact the rat drowned in the water bowl. Give it a few days and let me tell you... a bloated, rotting drowned rat does NOT smell any good.

:puke:No way I would be eating after that!!!

Glad I always check on everyone after feeding! ;)

I have a question though Ed - do you know why this particular snake regurged? Was the meal too big? Has he/she ever been tested for internal parasites? I know when Kashmire regurged with me, he had internal parasites. On top of treating him for the parasites, I was also advised to give him two weeks before offering to feed him again to allow the stomach flora re-build. Regurge is very stressful on your snake.

I've talked about food while elbow deep in a deceased(and rotting, but only 4-5 hours dead) dog's chest who had hemorrhaged and had multiple organ failure. Major Yay ;)

Food and what we're having for lunch is always a popular subject while doing some sort of surgery.

It really kinda smells like.. Well rat that sat in a pythons digestive juices for three hours. It had a hole about the size of my thumb in it skin at the belly and was missing like 75 % of its hair.. th worse part was the nice bloody sticky wet spot on the paper in the tub.

Oh yea I eat my egg sandwitches with mustard and cheeze.. :D Really I do

Leftover Rat smell is bad enough ... the regurge must just be horrible. Its amazing how fast I can pick out a rat that has been left, even a pinkie ... there is no other smell like that in the world.

:puke:

Or if he killed it and dragged it under his hide and left it...he normally goes right to his hide when he finishes eating, so I peeped in and saw no rat and no snake and thought it was all good.

Found the rat a few days later by smell...was twice as thick as it had been, and green.

oooo - a "popper" - wrap it in newspaper find someone you hate then set it on fire on their doorstep,ring the doorbell and run away. Far away. You should be able to smell the stamp streets away and if your lucky hear him scream for damned near a mile.


Oh and if anyone asks..... I never typed this and take no responsibility for the repercussions (e.g :groinkick ). :twisted: :bolt:
