Jumping
Hey all. Do you guys jump when you feed your snakes F/T? I do..Not to the point where it like hurts the snake or anything, I just flinch. How do you guys deal with this? I need to stop doing just incase one time I jump too hard and hurt my snakes. Thanks.

I do not have that problem. I have 21 snakes and they all get live food so I am used to it.

I assume you mean feeding them F/T with tongs? Why not just not use the tongs? Just throw it in and it'll probably eat it.

The only time I used to jump was when feeding our burm... but when she grabs food you know it. <thwack> <crunch> 
I have a video of her eating some where.

I use F/T on almost all my snakes and just toss it in, but i use live fuzzies and adult mice on my frogs and they can make ya jump as ya dont want your fingers getting bit by them.. The snakes that i use live for are my JCP which is live adult mice or gerbils that i hold by long surgical hemos. it dont bother me when it snatches it.. the other one i use live food for is my corn snake baby it gets live rat pinkies and gerbil pups.. want something to really make ya jump have a adult pixie frog get ahold of ya.. hehehehehe!!!!!!
