New Burm! "Dexter " the Pearl Burmese python progression thread

[CALM Pythons]

The legislation is the Animal Welfare Act 2006. In the UK it's illegal to cause any undue suffering to a vertebrate due to them having an advanced central nervous system and capacity to feel pain and fear.

If you can feed a snake a prey item that has been humanely euthanized then there's no real need to feed live and cause undue pain to the prey animal.

However if live feeding is the only way a snake will feed then I believe there is an exception the law takes account of.

Exposing an animal to a predator isn't seen legally as a humane way to euthanize in the UK unless absolutely necessary. I agree with this.

You could say snakes are exposed to parasites and other predators in nature but we wouldn't do it ha ha.

I am an animal guy so everything you said I agree with. I actually spent quite a bit of time with my breeding Rats.

Awsome. Nothing compares to a burm. They are just cool social snakes who become so docile and inquisitive they make a great pet.

So, now it appears that old Dex has realized he's being fed F/T instead of live.....he's not constricting anymore and just eating his rats after I leave them in the cage a few minutes! He ate two pups last night (what I had left) and he's making the transition to smalls next week. Hopefully a larger rat will convince him to actually strike.

Mine were taking fresh kill and eating them like a dog, i loved it. Id rather they didn't strike.. However nobody has done that in 2 months now.. Not sure what happened but Ohh Well.
