It was like a little crime scene! D:

Wow, that's pretty nasty and have not had that happen with any of my snakes. However, it has happened with my Tokay Geckos. They are pretty violent feeders! I occasionally feed them pinkie mice and what they do (since the prety is larger) is slam it against the tanks glass to cut the prey in half. Most of the time they don't manage but sometimes they do SO peices and guts fly EVERYWHERE! The nastiest is when I feed them Huge Hornworms YUK, Green Hornworm juices all over the glass. Another thing that has happened is, usually when I thaw out the frozen mice I put them in warm water... Once they are semi thawed out I lay them next to one of my heat lamps so that they finish thawing and stay warm. Well, I once TOTALLY forgot about the mice being under a heat lamp and cambe back to cooked and exploded mice bellies.

Hahaha! What vicious little things! That would be interesting.

I had the same problem when I first got my ball. Everything I fed him was just nasty. I thought it was the company I was getting my f/t from but that wasnt it. Now, I set the rat on top of his viv and let it thaw there. It works a lot better that way. It takes about 2 hours for it to thaw and he will start to smell it after about an hour so he will be ready for it. Once it is thawed, dip it in hot water just before giving it to him. He has eaten every single time doing it this way. much easier.

I like that idea! Though, mine has never had a problem being "ready to eat" I'll definitely be thawing them out slower now lol
