I wanna hear some of everyone's personal feeding horror stories of feedings gone wrong. From extremities being ripped off of mice to a bite in the wrong direction.
I'll start:
I have 2. The first one is that when I was feeding my BP, I was holding onto the tail to tight and it ripped off. Not bad.
My second one is whats happening up stairs right now. About 5 minutes ago I fed my snake. The f/t mouse had a little blood on it but that wasn't unusual. So I dangled it in. My BP just got off a "Hunger Strike" last week so he was eager to get eating. He grabbed it and squeezed. A hole burst in the mouse's side and it started bleeding. Followed by intestines leaking out. The intestines never left the body but there's blood on the inside of the tank I gotta go clean out. I don't have any words to explain how extremely mortified I am.
*UPDATE*
I just went upstairs and checked on him. There's no blood in or on the tank, there is definitely blood on him. Which is a bad thing, because blood is one of the top bacteria harvesters there is. I don't when the next chance will be for me to take him out and clean him/the tank up because I don't know when he'll stop being in feeding mode. (He was in it all last week, hopefully he'll be done now.)
Share your stories please. And does any one have any advise on how to prevent this in the future?
