great looking rock. thinking about getting one, i always hear there temperments are terrible but i think its just the rep just like with some other snakes, i think it all depends on how often and how you handle them. how are your rocks temperment?

blink and ull miss it

i'm amazed by how many people dont know about feeding tanks.... i thought that was just common sense... guess not.

[ChrisTripp]

fuck you take that shit somewhere else. feeding tanks are unnecessary.

handling a snake after a meal can cause them to regurgitate it. and that may be harmful to the snake.

[DraoiSidhe]

sir, for one profanity is unnecessary.  I'm not sure where you are getting your facts from but every single one of my snakes are fed in a seperate feeding take, they associate their feeding tank with food, I will post a video to prove it if you want.

also, every single one of my snakes are handled after feeding, I have NEVER once had any of them regurgitate. I'm not useing profanity so i dont appreciate it when i get a reply...

[turdspooning]

when dealing with constrictors that get dangerously large, such as an African Rock python, it is not a good idea to get the snake used to eating out of the cage, for it may trigger a feeding response as soon as you open the cage to take the snake out, and some snakes stay in "feed mode" for up to 24 hours, and handling anything above 13' that has a feeding response is just stupid. Most people would recommend the hook training method for any of the large constrictors.

[beavermatic]

I dont agree with the language, but 99.9% of professional snake owners do not feed in seperate tanks. Amateurs often read on the internet its "safer" to relocate them for feeding them to let them disassociate their cage from feeding area to reduce feeding strikes.

This is completely unfounded, and was started by someone with no idea that snakes do not differentiate between tanks.

To feed them in their cage is just as safe, aif not more so, than moving them to another area during feeding.

[DraoiSidhe]

In my experience my snakes will also associate a cardboard box as a feeding box. They are tame as can be in their cages but once you put them in a card board box they instantly go into a strike pose and become very aggressive.

i agree, most professional snake owners feed them in their cages, but most professional snake owners have an abundance of snakes and dont have the time to feed them separate their cages.

i wrote that first comment a while ago, my opinion has changed since then.

[ADDReptiles]

@DraoiSidhe

I'd much rather feed in a cage than try to fuck with a large, potentially still hungry, snake. Especially when rocks, burms, retics etc. can be easily hook trained.

[DraoiSidhe]

@ADDReptiles once again let me reiterate that my opinion since has changed, I posted that comment a long time ago. ok?

[bnorth17]

not my cat so i could care less. ever hear of a feeding tank? but serious take that bullshit some where else...please

[xXWhiteTigeressXx]

I hope that tank is only for its feeding quarters, because if thats its actual tank then you really dont deserve to keep such a beautiful animal as a pet =/ Plus, keep the cat away from it. It may have been funny, but agreed with WojPeruna's comment, its stress for the snake when its trying to eat. You know what that causes? Regurgitation. Plus, when its bigger, you wont see that cat around for long..

[ts960]

nice vid man, i feel bad for thin f****ng snake tho lol

[russianwarrior007]

Great snake, great vid! Lol, the slowmo was a nice touch. The cat's like, "Hey! Where's mine?!"

Just curious.. Why doesn't your cage have any "ornaments," like a cave or sticks or something? I don't know much about pythons, so excuse me if they just prefer a relatively empty cage.

[squid626]

I would venture to say that the cage has no ornaments because its just strictly for feeding time(snake is less likely to injure itself).However,as they get BIGGER,It becomes too complicated to add ornaments so They must be kept in an appropriate enclosure,Most of the time without ornaments.

[animalpassion777]

awesome vid man!next time buy two mice...one for the snake...and one for the enthused cat!lol

[nemesisazn]

Thats awesome. Not a lot of people on here who owns a rock. You rock!

[bnorth17]

Thanks i appreciate it.You've got some nice bloods.
