Beautiful animals, I'm glad you posted this thread as I had not heard before that arboreal venemous tend to need assist/force feeding. We have always played around with the idea of starting up a nature center or small zoo and we would be adding venemous and large constrictors when we do.

Whats the process you go through to force feed? I'd imagine it would be much harder to do because of the fangs. With a python if you break a tooth or two its not a problem but breaking those fangs must be pretty life threatening to the animal. I'd imagine this just adds to the stress your feeling while doing it. Do you tube them to do this or snake hook them behind the head, etc?

Thanks,
