I'm Mean/Stupid/Smart

[Simpson Balls]

Well yesterday I was feeding my collection of Boas/Pythons and I have these two snakes that need to feed in a bin without substrate. So I always keep the Balls next to each other in seperate bins and while I was feeding the male the female snuck out of the bin and sorta came inside his bin and while I was dangling (I did not notice the female sneaking in) the rat they both struck at the same time. These Balls don't coal they just open there mouth and eat it. So anyway the female struck the head (as usually) and the male struck the bum (as Usually) and they both were eating the same rat and I had no control of getting them to let go so I was stupid and got a knife and cut the rat in half. I know I'm stupid I panic. They ate the rat fine and I was happy but the only reason I did this was because I didn't want the Balls to eat each other.

Ps: Please don't hate, I panic easily. Sorry Rat.

lol I can imagine that would have been a tough situation. Best bet is to feed individually, keep the rest of the snakes 100% secured when feeding another snake, resecure a fed snake before moving on to another.

Cutting the rat in half was a perfectly fine move.. I'd hate to see a snake get to the other end of a rat and begin to eat the snake that's at the other end.

I think thats a pretty quick and good solution if you ask me. I would've panicked. lol

Haha! I don't know if I would have had the stomach to cut the rat with a knife.. I probably would have used my dad's enormous wire cutter...

[BeastMaster]

That was some quick thinking

Lol It was so weird because once I cut through the skin It was fine but the ribs were the hardest thing to cut through I was like a girl screaming when I got to the ribs!
