falsie feeding snaps

[ding ding]

my big girl isnt the sharpest knife in the drawer and tends to find the most awkward way of getting her prey into her...

doing bad things to a chick lol...


sideways mice, if she doesnt fel like finding the head she just folds them in half and down they go...




would have got some of the male but the viv stays firmly shut when he is in feeding mode...

thanks for looking...

[shaunyboy]

glad to see it's not just my carpets,that are a bit thick when it comes to eating

i have a male irian jaya and a jag,that eats every way but head first...

the jag took over 2 hours to eat a rat backwards,after having a rats back leg sticking outside both sides of its mouth

he looked knackered after it all

great pic's mate

thanks for sharing

cheers shaun

thanks mate, yea both falsies a pretty much just jam them in any shape but my young male boa has a fetish for eating backwards.

He will strike hard and fast, i mean he has literally threw himslf from one side of the viv to the other to get at the rat but when hes sure its dead (i feed F/T, he doesnt know lol) he spends the next hour or so playing with it then down it goes backwards every time.

I looks so much of a strugglr you would think they would catch on but no, scary to watch sometimes...

I thought it was just my lot that where numptys, good to see mine arent the only ones...

My dum only eats head first but it takes him like twenty minutes to find the head. ugghh

I wonder if it's a dumeril thing. Both of mine are the same way. Squeeze for 15-20, then another 20 or so minutes to find the head. But as soon as they find it, it's gone in about 5 minutes.

I have a 6' burm that is still hand fed. I don't use tongs...hold the rat by the tail, dangling it in front of her. She just comes up and grabs the rat by the head and starts eating away. (not every time, but it's common for her)

My carpet I HAVE to feed on tongs. She hits so hard, she's left the tail still in the tongs

When all mine were smaller, I used to feed chicks every once in a while. It seemed to confused them because they'd spend several minutes trying to figure out what end is the head lol

I have a carpet that does the same thing. She usually eats her rats backwards and it takes her forever to get it down. That chick pic is funny though.

[snake man12]

My dum has a wicked feeding response,it must be a dum thing , mine does the same thing.

Excuse the clumsy english.

[SpOoKy]

My falsie is the same way. The feeding response on these snakes is just incredible! Mine will hit hard and fast and will use the walls or branches to help get it down quick.

[ding ding]

all this crazy eating habits must be alot more common than i thought, suppose it just never really comes into conversation?

[rmfsnakes32]

I have had a few snakes that like to take it backwards its gross to watch but really cool they can stretch themselves that much to take it all in
