Baby ball python eating hopper, extremely graphic

[Trainmasterryan]

my pastel female, hates me watching her eat , let alone looking in her tank, howd you get around that? 

[soldierwillis]

@Trainmasterryan , I feed all my snakes outside their own cage in a feeding bucket. This bucket is never washed so its got a nice thick layer of mouse scent. If you dont already try your feeding in a small box or bucket, something to can make for feeding the snake but it can only be used for that purpose. After a couple feedings you might see a change in your snakes feeding habit. But for the most part i feed outside the cage so the snake doesnt mistake my hand when reaching in as a prey item.

@soldierwillis she did better today, she ate and shes getting used to being looked at and handled and yeah i have a seperate feed box

[RTSstation]

reptiles are awsome,espicially snakes and lizards.it was kinda sad how the mouse was still alive while getting eaten alive...but not everyone wasnts to feed frozen rodents.its like living in jail!!

[soldierwillis]

@RTSstation When i had my snakes i feed a mix of frozen and live. Frozen is so easy to order bulk online for a low cost, but i like to feed my reptiles something live every so often so they get to feel the thrill of the hunt, instead of a limp prey item they doesnt fight back.

i hate watching mice die thats why i feed my ball python frozen.



[RTSstation]

@deerslayer5611 we all understand..but i think its better if its fed live though,why?dont you want the snakes to feel like hes in the wild?(other than the fact hes put in a nice forest like cage)well the best way is to let him learn how to kill and eat a ive animal

[deerslayer5611]

@RTSstation yeah, but that just isnt what I prefer i dont have anything against or anything i understand how it is.

[soldierwillis]

@deerslayer5611 its great to feed them frozen, when feeding live you always have a chance of the prey item to fight back and injure your reptile. If seen snakes that have lost eyes due to a rat attacking them during the feeding. I mainly feed frozen due to being able to order online at a cheap cost, but every so often i feed live to give my reptiles a bit of excitement.

The mouse was calling his mom

very nice vid seems that the really good ones are from the ppl that dont have 10000 veiws

[soldierwillis]

@lucaman1221 Thanks...wish the video quality was better but its coming from my Droid.

pretty cool...sometimes they do eat em backwards..lol..but then again sometimes they figure it out..my retic. has eaten backwards before..a baby chick.. as long as they get it down and keep it there..lol...but cool vid.

[soldierwillis]

@4BOAS20 He has a bad habbit of trying to eat them backwords almost every feeding. But he always stops and figures shit out. For being like 6-8 weeks old hes a pretty smart snake so far.

[4BOAS20]

@soldierwillis yeah some snakes will do that..but if in the end he figures it out better and easier for him..

[shaheennobar]

Wow I love how calm you are most people are shouting and junk.

[soldierwillis]

@shaheennobar I have another video of a juvenile savannah monitor I used to have and i somewhat shouted when he stuck the mouse. After the video I realized how stupid I sound so I try not to talk much and let people enjoy the video for what it is.

[shaheennobar]

@soldierwillis Ya Well both are cool vids, I used to have a nile monitor but my parents said he was gettin wayyyy 2 big 4,6!

[soldierwillis]

@shaheennobar Yea....nile monitors need a pretty big custom enclosure build. Pretty much need there own shed outback lol. My enclosure i build was 6x2x2 and that was just for my juvenile savannah monitor. Now my bearded dragons are spoiled by living in it.
