Reptile watching- as shared in media

[Bogertophis]

Sooooo as per the thread title ..



I’ve just been watching a young lady ( about 22 yr old) giving a supposed masterclass on Royal python feeding on TikTok LIVE !!!

Sadly it couldn’t have been any worse in my opinion

First off the room was Uber- bright ... she took the glass out and was really nervous , first she had to scare her cat out of the room , TWICE .. then didn’t warm it up ,she took the hide OFF the settled snake making it nervous... making her more nervous... she then cut off it’s NOSE to get it bleeding and then it’s legs - as snakes apparently need to smell blood ( I thought that was sharks and piranhas lol) ...

Then she held the rat by fingers WITHOUT tongs - which may explain why she was so nervous..

There was no covering on the substrate ..

Eventually it had a little nibble and coiled but she pulled the rat out of it’s grasp because it wasn’t chewing on its head !!


The positives ( from my perspective) were that she obviously cared for it , she was feeding thawed frozen and it was housed in a lovely, decent sized wooden vivarium.

I couldn’t take any more and left before she showed us how she feeds her 7’ Boa !!

My nerves wouldn’t take the stress ..

Sounds more like a show of "how NOT to do this". Hope she used tongs with the boa...if not, maybe the next time she will? LOL
