    A little normal rescue.

    I went to get some supplies this Sunday and was looking at the ball pythons. The sales girl asked if I wanted a special needs ball. They stated that the snake wouldn't eat and had to be forced fed. I agreed to take her/him and set it up in a tank away from my other snakes. Monday morning I decided to try and feed her as she was very active and this is what happened.

    Congrats on getting her to eat. Makes me a bit curious about what they were doing that was so wrong.

    How ever did you get that mouse to shove itself down your snakes throat like that ? I mean, since it doesn't eat, that's what happened right ?

    Congratulations on your new baby.
