That's no kidding, this is way more dangerous than feeding live, lol.

I splash a little water on her to get her to release herself.
Really? I have never seen this happen!

But THIS, this takes the cake.
Lol that's too funny.

I have no idea. She acts crazy when I touch her too. I avoid touching her at all cost because she flails around and corkscrews. I'm wondering if she was shipped with hand warmers rather than an actual shipping heat pack.

I do think it's funny now, lol. In the moment I thought she was going to kill herself!

Well she's an '09 soooo she's had a few years to figure it out already, lol.

Oh my gosh, that's insane. Some poeple's snakes.... lol

I have heard that if snakes are inbreed for too long that eventually they will start developing "issues" like the one you are describing.

Good luck! Hope she gets better eventually haha
She had 4 puncture wounds on her belly that were bleeding by the time she was done. I'm guessing she thought it was the prey biting her too

From a person perspective, this is so adorable! It's just way too goofy. I love it! But I bet you don't love having to pry her off of... herself...



As someone on here once said, "snake's gonna snake."
Lol, it is funny now that she's fine! Our house is full of handianimals. We have a handicat who is blind, another hanicat with a broken back, and now apparently a handisnake with god knows what issues.
