Is anybody familiar with this scenaro.

On the UK forum i belong to, certain members have been giving tips to people with snakes on hunger strike, to take their snakes for a jaunt in the car and then try and feed the snake when you return home. Apparently people have had success with this method but i fail to see how it stimulates the snake into a feeding response. Now i can only take people at their word but i am very sceptical of the whole idea.

Usually when a snake goes off it's prey, it's down to stress or a change in the environment etc. Now too me, to take a snake that maybe already stressed out, into a car and drive about for fifteen minutes, with all the scents, vibrations and such. To me this would raise the stress levels of the snake.

Has anybody tried this method with success or have you simply not heard of it.

Cheers
