Turbine eating in the air.

lol nice pic. My bp does that, completely vertical. It looks so weird, like a stretched sock.

I don't feed my snakes in my enclosures either. Every time I've fed my rosy in his tub he squishes it into a corner or gets it trapped under driftwood/hide/etc. and then gives up. I'm always worried about substrate ingestion too, I've heard bad stories about that.

Paris, those stories are from people who can't fathom that they were the actual reason the animal died. Snakes can ingest substrate and poop it out just fine. I have seen this happen multitude of times.

Really? That's a relief to know. I've been so scared of my snakes dying from impaction since I've had more than one person tell me their snake died after ingesting substrate.

I will see if I can get my BP to eat in his enclosure.
The rosy is a lost cause though. Maybe he's "mentally handicapped" (since it won't let me say the other word?).

If you looked more deep into those people you'd find common husbandry errors I am sure. The snake or snakes could have been ill already for something else in the husbandry. Lack of heat or whatever.

I picture it this way, these animals don't have paper towel or plates or plastic in the wild. I am sure some gets in and they do just fine.

Awesome, I was thinking the same thing.

First time I bred pythons was an incredible cage cleaning accident(put the male in females cage for cleaning, they were locked up I let them be). Breeding doesn't mean you know what you're talking about.
