Jungle Carpet Python: Transitioning From Live To Frozen/Thawed

[Gorgon]

Yeah maybe I should have mentioned this ain't my first rodeo.

I had a Jungle Carpet just like this one a few years ago -- as well as 2 Royals -- and they ate *awesome* in a separate tub. So did I just randomly luck out and that was some sort of unique convergence/synchonicity where all the stars aligned perfectly? I never got bit, they never regurgitated. Nada.

I *have* heard people tell me that if you feed in the enclosure regularly, after a few months or so when you stick your hands in there to grab the snake, it could very well trigger a feeding response and it's a great way to get bit. So is that a total lie someone just made up?

Also, I haven't been randomly jumping to different feeding attempts all over the place. Those methods I listed above have been done over a time period of 6 months, ever since I first had the snake.

And I *have* moved an 8-foot to and from a feeding tub in the past. Quite regularly during that time. I'm a big guy. An 8' snake is nowhere near too much for me to handle.

A 13' Burmese might be pushing it a little but yeah, short of that, no worries.
