Also, when you've kept literally hundreds of snakes for decades, you begin to see things differently, as far as waiting to feed new snakes. You won't always 'get away with it', that's all I'm saying.
? I wasn't arguing with you. I was agreeing with you that some snakes start feeding right out of the box. I find that colubrids are the easiest in terms of getting them to start feeding. I've noticed that boidae in general are a lot more sensitive to the shipping process. That's just my observation.
