Does this make me sound like a sick individual?
At the reptile shelter where I volunteer we do this with large rats, we sew them head to butt, 4 rats long and then feed them to our King Cobra, in the wild they are snake eaters, and this ensures that he gets a decent sized meal when he takes a rat. The thread does not hurt him, he just gives it back to us a little while later...
Ha! Sick? ....Slightly. It's a good idea - but I'd probably throw them out first. Do you think I should to get him a bigger weekly meal? Or is a small weekly ok? Or is a small meal twice a week ok?
