newbie with bp feeding questions

[Zincubus]

In all my years in the hobby I JUST heard of braining actually working for the first time fairly recently. I hear so many people saying they've tried braining with no luck. I don't even know why people still bother. Although in fairness it's usually those who are unprepared and didn't do their own proper research prior to bringing their snake home.

I've used Zinc's hairdryer method in the past and...IT WORKS.

I am however one who feeds wet prey. All of my snakes take it wet, so I figure the added hydration can't hurt.
That being said, if any future snakes I bring in refuse wet on the first few tries I'll be using Zinc's method for that particular animal hoping it does the trick (and confident it will).

Any which way, do whatever works best for you and your animals.

Yep ... there’s always more than one way to skin a PETA activist


It’s one of those things really . .
The hairdryer method has to be followed fairly precisely for SOME nervous snakes and I think some people don’t have the patience ( or time ) to stand there .. offering and waiting whilst STILL warm , then hot blasting again and repeating 6 or more times ..

Then even the snakes vary massively.


A few of my Royals over the years simply didn’t even show any interest in mice thawed in water .. yet I’ve had others that would eat them damp and cold in the afternoon !!
