bites but wont eat.

Then... close your snakes' cage and beat it! Get out of the room. I cannot imagine how many times peoples' snakes get distracted by gawkers that either turn their attention to the gawker, and his/her heat signature, and leave the dead rat to lay.


I would watch at first to make sure the teeth of the rodent are not gaping open and able to bite the snake; in that case, I slip in a metal antenna and hold the rodent's head away until it is dead; this is very rare in my experience.

I really should have stopped reading your post as soon as you made the assumption that i fed solely with my hands. In fact, i bid you to go read my original post again. Its funny how... if you actually read my original post, you notice that, oh look my post and your last paragraph, which i have seperated for you from the rest of the main post, are not all that different.

Until then.

I have now made it easier for you to find the original post in which That quote of mine was taken from, so that you might even see for yourself how wrong your assumption was.

You know what they say about assumptions *sighs*

My experience with my animals, thus far, i feel is quite adequate to practice certain methods of feeding, if i feel they make things easier on me, and my animals. I suggest one understand this in the future before they decide to post.
