    Why can't all ball pythons eat like this ? (Video)

    My 3 year old normal rescue girl is a serious pig when it comes to eating, i think its cuz shes so little! Just thought I'd share my crappy feeding video, as its the first Ive ever done. First small rat for her tonight, she was on rat pups before. Wish all my future ball pythons will eat like this, but probably not the case

    Enjoy ^^

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who uses cooking utensils as feeding tongs.

    All of your future snakes might not eat like that, but a majority of them should. 90% of mine are pigs like that. My enchi will hunt me down if I don't feeding him fast enough after opening his tub. By hunt me down, I mean he comes half out of his tub towards me looking for his rat.

    Haha thats why I put the lid on the tub at first. As soon as she smells the rat, she comes out hunting. And I use these tongs I got from dollarama! I used a hammer and hammered it flat at the tip, so it holds rat tails quite nicely hehe

    I feed Captain Hook with Bar-B-Que tongs when I feed her F/T or P/K. She eats like a champ and has never refused a meal whether live, F/T or P/K. Well until recently but that's because she was only a couple days from going into blue. She only has the wobble with F/T or P/K but with live she strikes and constricts immediately as soon as it comes near her. Ivan is like that too but he's only ever eaten live.

    0.1 Normal (Captain Hook) (Hooked deformation on tip of tail)
    1.0 Pastel Poss het Albino (Thor)
    0.1 Normal (Chloe)
    0.1 Tiger Reticulated Python (Jade)
    0.1 Borneo Black Blood Python (Kira)
    Coming soon:
    1.0 Mojave het Albino
    0.1 Mojave het Albino
