    I understand this but I would at least attempt to cause as minimal stress as possible... Maybe letting it eat the finger to the point of the hand would cause less stress then taking the lil bit of finger it started with out idk never had to deal with it.

    Once a royal has struck and started the rest is instinct you can move them around and they are absolutely oblivious. (why they will not feed unless they are in 'safe surroundings' the snake is taking no harm and it is not really much to do once it starts you could try hot water or cold water or mouthwash or any number of other folk things but the best thing for the snake is to just wait it out so it and let it let go. When you think on some of the ways people try to get them to let go waiting for instinct to click off seems quite responsible.

    Silly little ball python. It's going to swallow him whole. I'm not sure if id let the bugger try and swallow my finger. (might mess up one of my nails). But I thought the video was silly, just a silly snake being a snake.

    I think he should have stopped it sooner. He could have run the risk of stressing it or pulling out teeth if he had to pull it off.

    As long as the animal isn't hurt, I don't think it's so bad.

    I figure the snake will release his finger when its ready. Better than him forcing it off or something like that.

    I didnt see anything about where he started to eat his finger... do you suppose he may have "force fed" the snake his finger?
    Looks like boys being boys and snakes being snakes...

    Hmm. well first Jay said he prefered retics. Thats his own perogative. They have messed people up worse than a couple little teeth holes. The fact that he let it keep going up his finger isnt the smartest thing ive seen people do. I realize the guy is a breeder but wtf. Really? Sit there and tape it working its jaws up ur hand? He may be a breeder but after seeing that i cant say i would ever buy a reptile from him. Just looks like ignorance at its finest to me. But thats just my opinion.
