Favs parts of feeding phase

[N4S]

My 2 fav parts are:

The initial strike.

And when they are finishing and stick there body straight up and the tail of the feeder is hanging out.

Yeah, who doesn't like watching that first strike? I also like how the python gets a hold of its prey.

putting a check mark in everyones column on the feeding chart.
i hate rodents and feeding is not my thing, but i really love it when everyone eats. most of the time however, someone is skipping a week due to a shed or some other goofball snake reason. if i get 7 out of 8 i am usually a happy camper.

I always feel bad for the rodent, even if it's not a very nice one. But....I'm always happy with the strike and wrap....'cause that means my snake is eating and growing and staying healthy.

I have one fav part about feeding.. The focus before the strike. they lock one and hone in..I'd be intimidated as hell if an animal did that to me.

Yea, its all good

Sometimes when the mouse is giving my boy a hard time, he'll ratchet up the pressure everytime he feels a kick. Sometimes, he'll even add another coil. There have been a couple of times I thought the mouse was just going to explode.

Though I love watching as the tail slowly slides into the mouth, I have to agree that the best part is everyone eating and the fact that they ALL take F/T. It was a bit of a chore with my little burned rescue but he finally came around, too. This makes it MUCH easier for me :-)

I can't wait to watch my new babies feed for the first time, too. I'm sure that will be a high point in snake feeding for me.

yes!!! i love watching them coil up like they're setting the springs or something! the only thing i don't like about feeding time is that the rats cry. loudly. didn't have that with mice so it didn't really bother me but.... i get kinda sad for a sec. then it goes away. and i wait to see him stand up with a tail hanging out of his mouth! lol!
