@SquirtleRuNzSocial ahha nice

[TheDeathatron]

How'd you get Sherbet to take the rabbit?

[hockenburyj2]

@TheDeathatron just persistence....he eventually just slowly bit it....he'll now just take it if i leave it in his enclosure on the hot side under the heat panel

thats an awsome male retic i wanna get one for my female but ima get purple albino tiger male for her

[hockenburyj2]

@OGsaintCC thanks man...yeah I want to do the same...may settle for a lavender tho

[OGsaintCC]

@hockenburyj2 that be cool they look like purple almost

[krispcream1]

what substrate do you use??

[hockenburyj2]

@krispcream1 a deli meat paper..basically a heavier printless newspaper

Im pretty happy with these two right now, Ive looked at frozen prices but for me im basically paying same cause shipping. I only go every two weeks. Plus i like to support local reptile places with rat and rabbits sales. Im from sacramento, ca.

[hockenburyj2]

@mouse1420 that's not bad then...yeah i would too except there is only one local reptile store left by me and they don't sell rabbits so you can understand why I order frozen...no way I'm paying 40 for a small rabbit.

@hockenburyj2 Im not gonna pay 40 bucks for a bunny either. Im lucky to have shop pretty close with big snakes so they always have feeder rabbits.

Dude u got some really nice snake vids!!! U should come check out my YouTube page, I got some really nice vids of my morph boas and pythons... Subscribe if ull like and ill do the same as well.... Thanks!!!

[hockenburyj2]

@DrewTheEntertainer thanks man...you have some nice boas ...I subbed please sub to my channel too

[DrewTheEntertainer]

Niiiice snakes!!!!

[snakeboi1994]

good vid, nice to see that your big guys took rabbits instantly, one of mine wont take them she will only take poultry, rats and maybe guinea pigs.

[hockenburyj2]

@snakeboi1994 thanks man yeah...suprisingly the burm looked at it for a while and then eventually took it. That sucks can you maybe trick her into eating a rabbit? I've seen people switch wc king cobras from snakes to rats by tying a part of the snake to a rat. Idk just an idea; how many guinea pigs do you have to feed her then?

[snakeboi1994]

@hockenburyj2 yeah i've tried chaining a small rabbit after a chicken and stuff but it never works, she spits it out right away once she gets into the head. i usually feed her one large chicken, or 3-4 quail/rats at a time, or 2-3 quinea pigs or whatever it takes to make up the weight i need.

[ReptilesManiac]

nice bro they look really good!!!!

[MultiSnake1983]

awsome feeding vid my friend many thumbs up on all your vids and glad they took there rabbits for the first time and they get more beautiful everytime i see them:-)★

[hockenburyj2]

@MultiSnake1983 thanks man I appreciate your comment

[MrReptileSmile]

Sweet Feedings,Your Retic And Burm, Are Going To Leave You Some Thing Huge When They Digest There Food lol

[hockenburyj2]

@MrReptileSmile haha I don't want to think about taht

[MrReptilebeast]

How bigs your retic?

[hockenburyj2]

@MrReptilebeast I don't have a weight on him but a little over 8 feet

[SquirtleRuNzSocial]

Nice shit bro. Can't wait till i have to feed my burm rabbits!

[hockenburyj2]

@SquirtleRuNzSocial thanks...yeah it's exciting

[LACREPTILES]

Yeh I had a retic baby I was wasteing so many rats on her n that y I made the switch to bps I had boas n burm I actally had 2 albino burms but I might b picking up a albino boa soon

[LACREPTILES]

I got a pick on my facebook of her wen she was around 100lbs I gave her to a guy name sean casey he was on animal planet a couple of times I lost my job a couple years back so I couldn't take care of her she was a albino I belive he gave her to a zoo in cali

[hockenburyj2]

@LACREPTILES dude that's crazy and I can understand why you gave her up. The big snakes are the coolest but feeding them costs and arm and a leg. I want to breed my two males to some females I can find in the area and make some money to set aside for food.

[LACREPTILES]

20 - 25 lbs she was over 160lbs

[hockenburyj2]

@LACREPTILES shit....you have any pics or vids of her? What happened to her did she pass on or did you sell or trade her, normal or what?

[LACREPTILES]

Hare today gone today lol nice vid bro I remember wen I had my burm use to feed her 25lbs a week

[hockenburyj2]

@LACREPTILES thanks man....25lbs? or 2.5lbs?
