assist feeding

i had a go at assist feeding my 2010 baby royal python today cause she hadn't eaten since i got her over a month ago and it was a total success, she was being very stubborn but after a little while i got her to eat. iam hoping she will start taking the food off her own acord from now on now shes had a taste for it fingers crossed tho. it was good experience for me as ive never done it before and i know shes only a baby but its quite scary at first looking into her mouth and seeing those shiny little nashers lol anyway heres a few pics of her feeding

Well done mate, it's quite stressful isn't it, You do learn a few wee tricks after a while though.

Success...good for you!!

cheers guys its always good learning something new, just hope she starts taking it herself now

Well done! That's great news. It's always great to hear a successfull outcome to what was, I'm sure, a very difficult time.

thanks mate very happy this one has had a feed now

You know, if I'm to be honest it's the one thing I've dreaded now for a few years and had to do once which I hated, I can only imagine what the snake was thinking at the time. Good man yourself and I hope she's on a role now for you

i didn't wanna do it at first but i dont even think this little girl has even had a feed before i got her but she was good and finished it and all is well touch wood
