Am I correct in thinking you’re feeding in a separate container then putting it back into viv ??Originally Posted by mopuim
Yes, he ate fine and almost immediately as I opened the hatch of his feeding container, like he was hungry. I let him sit for a little bit in the container and I just moved him back to his tank. He seems calmer and hopefully will rest or something. He's also moving slower and just exploring. I keep checking on him like every few minutes, but I really need to sleep.
About the cuts, they're not my greatest concern. None of the cuts he has had in the past have got infected and they seemed to heal fine, but I wash them with a little warm water and keep an eye on it. I am more concerned on why he is doing it, and hopefully calling the vet can help in any way. He's got a heat pad for digesting, so hopefully he decides to chill there. I'm just hoping for the best.
I think it’s generally accepted that you should only feed in their vivs/tubs it’s far easier AND safer ( for you ) plus you’re not moving a snake around AFTER it’s just eaten .
I’d never even try it with my King snakes and can’t imagine the fun and games you’d have feeding a 13’ reticulated python in a separate container !!
