feeding help

[Kaorte]

They swallow animals whole, how on earth would they choke on a piece of substrate?

They can also digest bone and hair so a little bit of wood won't hurt. If you are really concerned, just put a piece of paper towel down over the substrate and then put the rat on top of that.

Are you providing two tight fitting hides for the snake?

well I don't think it could be stress from being moved as I have been doing that since I got him. could it be him just getting a little excited for food? and I don't know if it makes a difference but I feed live.

and yes he has to squeeze into his hides

and on a side note I keep forgetting to ask people this but he squeaks somtimes not like a wheezing because it's not with every breath but like when he is moving around alot he will squeak once or twice, what could it be?

Probably stuck shed in the nostril or a fast exhale or inhale.

Is he actually aggressive or just more active on feeding day? My snakes are pretty active on feeding day, but that doesn't mean they are aggressive. Just on the prowl.

he has actually struck at me from his hide
