Now it doesn't really offend me, but we've had problems/arguments about this sort of thing on this forum before. You need to mention that the video is going to be of a snake eating. I love to look at pics and videos of snakes, just not when they're eating. I understand that they need to eat, but that doesn't mean I have to watch it. Just so you know for next time.

Beautiful looking snake though!

Arrrrgh i cant watch things of snakes eating! Especially if its eating a little mouse or rat or something. I aapreciate they have to eat but i am a lover of furry animals and cant bear to see those sorts of things lol!

first, that meal is way too small for that snake, Second, You should not feed in the tank, it can make the snake more agressive, and bedding can be stuck.

That food looks like it was a frozen, make sure the furr is dried off before feeding next time

Nice vid, and nice snake - but like Lazykittenmoon said :
- that mouse looks a little small for the snake
-feeding in the tank could cause aggression (thinking what comes in the tank is food) and the bedding can cause the snake to become impacted, leading to serious harm of even death to the snake.

Great that you feeding pre-killed , just be sure to make sure the mouse is the right size and also the mouse is thawed all the way out and nice and warm -the mouse being wet doesn't matter.

Hope you don't think of any of this being rude, just have the snakes best interest in mind - if that makes any sense.

aside from my lack of knowledge regarding snakes, i did think that vid was neat

if the mouse is dry, less debree gathers on the furr

Yes - but what I meant was if the snake was taken up of the tank to feed then , the mouse being wet or dry doesn't matter

true lol. But sometimes people have no choice, so the furr should be dry. I defrost my pinkies and fuzzies with hot water, the lazy way >_>
