Jacks: If you read this thread you'd know that the snake was bought from a professional breeder, namely Wilbanks, whose ads appear on our site. I cannot imagine any breeder sending out hides previously used by a snake they sold, can you? This owner needs real help, not more "rabbit holes" to go down.
What's more, even the mere mention of feeding a snake by leaving prey on a paper towel is dangerous (!) & could result in the death of their snake.
NEVER LEAVE PREY ON A PAPER TOWEL! (pretty please?)
F/T prey tends to be damp, and paper towels stick very well to such things- this practice could easily result in the paper towel being ingested by the snake, right along with the prey, & it wouldn't be the first time. Snakes cannot digest paper towels (or fabric, for that matter) & these materials can cause an internal blockage needing surgery to correct & from which a snake might not survive.
Let's not make things worse for this owner & their pet (or for anyone else reading our forum & trying to learn the right ways), okay? Thanks-
