Finally Bit!

[llovelace]

My bp grabs their face and then starts to eat their butt. Gets its halfway in, gives up and goes for the head. EVERY time.

I have one who constantly strikes and coils the back half of the rodent, leaving the front end free to bite! Tongs to the rescue

Yea, when I got bit it startled me more then hurt me.

I got bit the second time feeding, ever. It was 100% my fault and I still laugh about it. I was placing the rat in her enclosure and WHAM! she snagged my pinky finger.. This wouldnt have been a problem but I had my pinky finger extended between her and the mouse..

i usly get bit when i remove the prey item from the tub if they don't eat it within 20 mintues (by then the prey either dead from a brain injury (stunning) or still dazed and gets offered to the next snake in line. I found it simple to only pull one out at a time wiuth the pickie eaters. (het pied male ) since the breeding mode going.

"Stunning" doesn't sound very humane...

That sucks, but at least you recognize what is stupid and what isn't.

more humane than allowing the rodent to harm the snake, imo. a quick flick on the top of the head is all it takes.

don't wanna hijack the thread, but there are more humane methods of dispatching a feeder. if you are going to kill something, kill it. the person i was speaking to mentioned feeders with brain damage from this "stunning". i just kinda thought that we should be humane to not only our reptiles, but also to the animals we use to nourish them.

It's best to keep the hands away from the food.

Lol i knew that already but i guess I forgot but i sure remembered it quick once I got bit
