our Friday the 13th bloodbath...not for the squeamish...feeding pics and vids
« on: March 14, 2009, 09:35:22 PM »
First let me say next week we are going to try f/t on these guys and see how they take to it...lesson learned and checking account emptied this week...we just paid $75.00 for 4 rats and 9 mice at Dogpatch in Texarkana...anyone from this area know anywhere else to get live?

OK so, the Macklott's decided to play with his food last night...he bit the rat by the tail...Rich had to knock it out to keep it from biting...then Hoggers drug the twitching rat around by the tail for a while...we felt bad for it so Rich finished the job...it was weird...he didn't wrap around it until after it was dead....just dragged it around for a while...anyway heres some pics...it was a blood bath...literally



















This was the first time he ate in the bathtub...could have had something to do with his actions...and the first time he ever played with his food...even tho after a bath, he ate another one...normally...he killed it himself and everything...

and....the video...

any ideas on why he would act like that?

I guess it's just a case of different feeding location=different results.

EHEHEH !

Friday the 13th is always a damn bloodbath !! LOL

A lil-bloody (maybe somone could think so), but kickass shoots ...
... this is what often happens while feeding carnivoures
and there is the probability it happens !!

For the playng food situation, I can't promise to have understood what is the metter/problem,
maybe I must agree (what a difficult choice LOL LOL LOL)...
... the "pet" may have not recognised his huntin'ground and/or the bathtub temp (cold surfaces or stuff like that) has destablished him.

The vid is nice too !!
Smiled so much when I hear You talking with the lil-retic in the tub, and , obvsly ...
... rolling on the damn floor when I heard the lil-burp (what a laughing !!!!!!! !)



 :goodjob:

 :thankyou: for sharing a part of what is keeping and taking care of animals !!!

that was a first...we normally feed in the cage or a sterilite tub...have been working on feeding outside the cage because of what we have read...until i saw the post about feeding in or out...i'm wondering what keeps people from getting bit when the reach in a cage...how does the snake tell the difference between a hand and food?  when we have shavings for substrate we use the tubs for feeding to keep splinters and such out of their mouths...when we have paper towels or newspaper we feed in the cage...i know...its kinda wierd but ya never know what you're gonna be able to use out here in the sticks!!

Also just got the hookup on runny babbits...have a breeder living less than 5 mins away  :kickass:

I think we are gonna have to buy breeders for ourselves tho...not sure if the ol lady up there will be too kindly if she finds out we plan on feeding our snakes with them  :sign151:

yeah, sometimes they're not too happy about that, unless they only breed em for meat anyway.... and this is how we let them know our hand isn't food coming into the cage.... http://www.darksidereptiles.com/forum/index.php?topic=125.0

informative as usual...thanks donnie...and as far as the rabbits go this lady sells hers for food...just not snake food lol...says she sells to the largest rabbit meat co...says sometimes sells to local cancer patients and heart patients as well...rabbit meat is supposed to be the leanest...she has approx 400-500 in there now...with half the cages empty...we just told her we wanted to breed some or maybe get some new babies...she asked why...we started talking about breeding lol...totally changed the subject on her...im sure the tats and piercings were a lil much for this elderly lady in the bible belt  :party7:
 :rolf:

the video is great as well as the hook training...i never knew...i'm kinda ignorant about some of these things lol
