2nd Successful Feeding

[Jellybeans]

I know....I feel the same
Those

Just keep in mind that some snakes "beg" for food even if it's not time to eat. I have several GOOD eaters who, if I went solely by their begging, would make you think they were starving and that feeding 2-3 times per week was necessary LOL. (Even though I know that's not the case because they are offered an appropriately sized prey item weekly.)

Admittedly sometimes it makes me feel bad, but I don't give in to their puppy dog eyes because slow growth is better.

Oh my gaaaad! They DO use those “puppy dog” eyes on you! I thought it was just my “nope rope” playing me like a sucker.

Yes, every one I've talked to about his eating habits has said (and I've read) that it's not very common to have one that's this easy.

It's more typical when they're young...it's when they mature (& after they've trained you into complacency) that the "fun" begin.

So, what you're saying is they're setting us up for the inevitable sneak (snake) attack when they mature which will inevitably result in my untimely death? See?? I KNEW they were bad! Don't let those "puppy dog" eyes fool ya! There's an instinctive predator lying just beneath those "friendly" lil' scales we all love & adore so much, just WAITING for the right moment to strike!

I was suggesting "torture by frustration", not any literal predatory attack, lol...

On the other hand, many snake forums have gotten more quiet...could it be?...maybe you're right after all about those "untimely deaths"!? Bbwaahhahahahaha!
(Perhaps ball pythons refuse meals when they grow to adulthood in order to save room for their owners!? )

I've had a talk with mine already since he's very young and told him not to pull that BP eating issue with me later in life buddy!
Lol!

Excellent idea! Think I’m gonna go have a “sit down” with Monty before things get outta hand.
