Tell me your crazy snake stories!

OK, I'll go first... The other day I was talking with a lady about snakes. Back in the day about 20-30 years ago she used to have a Burmese python adult. Here's how she fed it, she would take the snake out of the enclosure, put it in the hallway of her house just outside of the bedrooms and close all the doors to trap the snake in the hallway. Then she would release an adult rat in the hallway and close the door and wait for the snake to eat LOLOLOL!!!

I talked to a lady in a pet store one time looking for heat lamps for her snake, didn't know what kind of snake, didn't know what temps it needed, didn't know what temps the cage was now, just thought he was cold. I told her to buy a thermometer instead and do some research.

Then heard about a couple with a ball python they had shipped from AZ and they believed because of the atmospheric changes that the snake wouldn't eat, they were forcefeeding it weekly instead and stuffing the mouse down it's throat with a pencil.

Force feeding a ball Python is really crazy! What most baby ball pythons really want to eat are live rat pups, some people can't feed live and in some cases the snake ends up starving. All my snakes go crazy over live rat pups.
