Stupid Feeding MISTAKE stories............

[Beauty the BP]

OK I want to hear all your stupid feeding mistake stories. It can be one of your own or something that happened to a griend of a friend............

I will start with this ine that i just posted at a different site. LADS be warned.......

The other day a good friend of mine, whose name I will leave out and call him BOB, hada date he was excited about going on. You know how mid 20's guys are......... Well he took a very large rat from the frig to warm up and went to take a shower. He finished his shower and went in the kitchen got the rat and went to his room........... He removed the top of the tank to his 7 foot Burm and picked it up to put in its feeding tank, while still holding the rat........... Next thing I know is I am getting a call from his next door neighbor to come over as he has just been rushed to hospital and there was a large upset snake on the loose.

I go over and put the snake in his tank and feed it to which it was ever so happy to take and secured everything. Then I go home. I got a call from him at the hospital to come get him and he asked if I could bring the BIG car.....

To find out he was completely naked and was sporting a bandage like the one in american pie on his................. With the explicit instructions of Ice every 2 hours for the first 24 hours and daily wound checks by the doctor. He required 30 stitches on the offending dangley bit.

I dont thin he will make the mistake of nude snake feeding again do you?..............




OK ppl lets hear yours and I will then share one of my own that will make you say omg.

Jo, you are SO funny!!

That's a pretty funny story, although I'm quite sure "Bob" didn't think so at the time! I hope he didn't suffer any permanent damage!

I don't have any feeding error stories. I suppose there may be an inevitable one someday down the road, but as of now, I guess I don't have enough "feedings" under my belt to have gotten complacent. (Besides that, I've always got my husband's voice in my ear "Has it bitten you yet???" LOL)

Well this is on a less dangerous route. Back when I used to just drop the mouse in to my corns tank I made a mistake. I used to just go in, not even turn on the lights drop and leave. Well I thought I had opened the corns tank I dropped it and heard a splash. I had dropped in the turtle tank right next to it!! I was pissed and my turtle wanted to get it for some reason.

Wow ... nothing ever like that!!! My son got tagged trying to pull one of the snakes out right after feeding. That was one of those "told you so" moments. Yeah, dad was not making it up that you might get bit if you bother them after eating ....but he has never done it again!!!!

It's hard to follow that story beauty!

LOL, a loooooong time ago, before I knew that my snakes shouldn't be housed together, I had a problem. I dropped the mouse in there, and my boy coiled up on it real quick like. When he finally let go and was ready to chow, my female said, "Hey, I am WAAAAYYYY too lazy to catch the other live mouse in the tank. I think Ill just take yours instead"

It was a very, VERY messy game of tug-o-war. Grossness.

That ends my lesson on yet another reason why 2 snakes should not be housed together.

I also dont have enough feeds under my belt to have mistake stories. however, I am eventually going to get bit because, despite warnings from you all here as well as my SO AND my kids, I am still hand feeding Nag. I know one of these days I'm gonna get bit, I am prepared for it, and I just enjoy hand feeding too much to stop right now. *shrug*

Mama always said I was one sandwich short pf a picnic

so I guess you could call it a "future mistake"

ok well i was letting my brother feed and it was f/t mice and the bag i submerged in the hot water wasnt toally swaled so they got all soaked and he had the tongs and was going to drop it it in told him he had to hold it and let him strike the mouse then coul so we could ge as little aspen on the wet mouse as possible he was scared but excited to do it what follows is the funniest think i think a ball python was ever ever 20 feet away from when it happened my brother shaking loweres the mouse in front of his hide and theres a tense about 15 seconds then WHAM!!!! he was actually in his other hide my brother did not get bitten but did jump back trip over my shoes and actually busted open the sterelite that i use for feeding loki my other bp (luckly loki was in his tank) and a piece of the plactic actually went in his ummmm poop maker... he had to go to the rectal doctor (forgot its tecnical name) and he was ok but damn that was funny
