Today was the first day I have ever fed my new ball python named Scarface, not that he has a scar on his face but because it is my all time favorite movie and actually have a room in my house dedicated to the movie. Anyways I was very nervous to feed for the first time since I was feeding live and was worried something would happen to scarface. I was also holding my breath thinking that he would be a picky eater and not eat for me at first. Well anyways I bought an adult mouse at the store I got him from and set it by the cage so scarface would smell it, I left it there for a little while and when I came back Scarface was partially out of his hide and I noticed the mouse was starting to chew out of the box and was close to escaping, so I opened the cage and set the mouse in the opposite side of the cage. The mouse walked right over to the other side of the cage and wham Scarface took him down perfectly. I'd say from the time I put him in the cage till he was struck was not even 5 seconds. I was greatly relieved.
Sorry for being so winded but i was so ecstatic on a succesful first feed!!!!
