Re: to big ?

In the past, if my Ball had trouble with a shed, I put her in an ice cream bucket with about 3/4 of an inch of warm water, leave her in there for about 20 minutes, then take her out and gently rub on the skin and it comes off real easy, you have to be careful though not to force it, it should slide of with a bit of pressure.

Because the owner didn't pay attention! Don't be scared. Fear is silly. Being aware of danger ia smart.. I'm just showing you that there IS danger and hopefully you'll prepare yourself to do whatever is necessary to keep your snake safe

Re: to big ?

It was a very sad picture but I watch the whole time he eats and I will gladly kill any rat that tries to hurt my snake

I don't see a rat doing that to any snake with a strong feeding response, especially a constrictor.

Re: to big ?

My dads ball python eats medium size rats. He went to feed it one time and the rats tail broke off and ran off leaving a blood trail. He found it though, I'm not sure if his python took it or what he did with the rat.

Re: to big ?

Thanks I know I said this earlier but I put that big rat in there and I've never seen him attack so fast it was crazy fast. I wonder what the difference was do u think the snake realized this rat was a bigger threat ? When I put the smaller mice he would stalk and wait the mouse out wait for it to walk by. This rat hit the bottom of enclosure Bo add it wrapped up in 2 sec. I was shocked!!!!
