Re: Requesting personal exp in regard to the pinkypump
I got a cathoder(sp) tube the other day and I think this is way better than that aquarium tubing.
I honestly didn't like this.
The end of this thing is brilliantly designed I think and its all made of what feels like soft silicon tubing. I like how the port is on the side and the angle of the end is nice too so I can aim for the spine and avoid a lung.
I would include actual feeding but I dont have extra hands and the wife is never around when I do it.

Re: Requesting personal exp in regard to the pinkypump
Do we want to know how you got that? Was it a souvenir?

Re: Requesting personal exp in regard to the pinkypump
Lol its new and I got it from a guy I know who breeds rats locally who got them with some snakes he bought and got a lot of supplies. I am sure I could get more from a medical supply store. It works so much better and easier.

Re: Requesting personal exp in regard to the pinkypump
So how are you doing, with the little guy? Did you see my post about feeding them tails? Instead of the pump you just shove a mouse tail down there, and they auto swallow it after a little bit!

Re: Requesting personal exp in regard to the pinkypump
I am worried enough of getting venomed when I hold his head and he moves back and forth with an open mouth while I force feed let alone getting my fingers even closer with a tail 
Update as well, This will be my 3rd force feed tonight and he already seems more active. We will have to see if he gains weight, btw I am doing it every other day now that I have a good method of doing it because I have read that they digest the baby food very fast.

Re: Requesting personal exp in regard to the pinkypump
Wow man, i'm sorry he's being such a jerk! LOL
Have you been offering food, in between forcing the food? Maybe he might take it now that he knows you mean business! How big is he? mine just *finally* shed and the shed was 12 inches.
Also, i reached into my sand boa tank the other day, and she bit at me...and got a mouthfull of sanichips...i freaked out and wiped them out of her mouth, but in the process i really hurt her jaw! I still feel awful. It was like the very end was bent up a way it shouldn't be. SHe's okay now, though i'm still really worried and upset...she's acting normal and it looks fine...but i guess my point is she is like 4 times bigger than my hoggie, i can't imagine trying to force that tiny little mouth open!
I hope things stay careful! Keep me updated

That's killer. Was that the trick?
Since I've been researching hognoses for a while I read a ton of horror stories of people losing their snakes

Re: Requesting personal exp in regard to the pinkypump
I am sure it helped, He started gaining weight and then started eating on his own.
