Feed ME!

I've been thinking about this. Everyone has said that its a good idea to have the handler feed the bP for you to see. But what if it was just recently fed and doesnt want to eat? How do you know that the breeder isnt lying? (cant u c a bulge in the stomach)

I'm sorry if I'm being a pain in the ***!

If you're set on seeing the snake feed, you can just ask when the usual feeding time is, and go back then. Any specialty reptile store will tell you the days that they feed their snakes, and you should be able to watch, you just might have to wait a week. The stomach bulge usually goes away after a day or two.

Dito. Go back for the next feeding.

I feed most of my snakes at 11pm or later. All my snakes are nocturnal. NO way would I wan people trapsing around my house wanting to see my snakes eat!! Screw that.

Buy from a reputable breeder and there are no problems.
