i was feeding my 2200 gram normal ball one day. i threw in a male rat(cant remember if it was live or f/t)
i was watching her constrict when all of a sudden the rats scrotum became a balloon ....lol. the rats guts pretty much got squeezed into the scrotum and it ballooned out. crazy.
another time i was feeding a small childrens python. this snake liked to sit in its tree right next to the screen and eat from tongs through a plugged hole in the top. i took the plug off then realized my tongs were out of reach. i had the tank half balanced on my leg and the stand the mouse in the other hand. the childrens came out the hole and grabbed my thumb and pulled my thumb into the hole on the lid. then constricted my thumb locking it into the lid as i couldnt pull the snake off or through the hole. i ended up unlocking the hood one handed then placing the tank back on the shelf and having my wife help pull the snake off. this whole time blood is going everywhere. i couldnt believe how bad the blood was. once the snake was off i found 1 tiny tooth hole. the constriction was just forcing it out.lol
i may even have pics still somewhere ill have to look
