[T.O-SK8TER]

Has anyone seen The Big Squeze, man I loved that program please let me know what you thought of it?

[snakemann87]

Yes I loved it i ahve it on tape. Did you see the guy that did the test to see how much force a pythons coils has per inch? from the pittsburgh zoo hes the guy that runs my herp herp shows and herp club. Herb ellerbrock I see him every month hes a cool guy.

Yea man thats brave, feeding an 18 foot burm by hand. If that was my burm he would go right for my face.

[snakemann87]

mine are in the giant python forum it should say Hannibal or something with that in the title, thats the name I gave him. I feed mine a small rat every 4 days, after two more feedings ( when all the smalls are gone) I will start him on mediums every 4 days. I really don t care how big he gets, I have enough space for an 18 footer but I don t no where to get frozen goats. LOL

Nice pics. I remember when my guy was that small:)

[T.O-SK8TER]

I m glad its over with, its so hard to handle them because they get pissed off really easy or they are trying to get out of your hands. He is pretty calm other than when he is going into shed.

i didnt like the big squeeze...it taught people to be more afraid of snakes.

I use to do that all the time when I had my 14ft Burm. I use to toss the rabbit to her and she would sometimes catch it in mid air. Also I would play tug of war with her and the rabbit. :D

[T.O-SK8TER]

I would not consider that a safe practice of feeding at all.

[ANACONDASAURUS]

It's called many years working with reptiles.

[T.O-SK8TER]

There is still safer ways of feeding, I believe what you said is an imature way of feeding.

[snakemann87]

in away i agree. that burm could EASILY release the rabbit your stuggling with and bite you.......not smart

[ANACONDASAURUS]

I'm not dumb enough to make stupid mistakes. She never ever bite me her whole life.

[T.O-SK8TER]

It is an imature and not a responsible way to feed your snake, and I don think anyone would disagree!

[snakemann87]

I understand that Anaconda....but our pets.........even dogs and cats are still wild animals and always will be. There is ALWAYS a chance your snake can bite you. I got bit by my boa she was the last I'd think to bite me. There is no margin for error ecspecially with a large constrictor.

Yes Definitely!:)

!! Wow, that's crazy unsafe. I'm happy to hear you werent injured while playing tug-of-war with a 14 ft wild snake in hunting mode, but that is very irresponisble.
