Powder, The mighty Shaka Zulu and a Jack Dempsey feeding

Hello everybody! well I got this weeks general feeding on film (this is excluding the big Savannah Monitor and my Leopard gecko) and it was pretty interesting. Mainly because my big male macklot's python shoots straight for my hand instead of the rat!

Notice he is attached to the part of the rat that would have been closest to my hand? thats because I managed to get the rat in his mouth, instead of my hand lol

And, I got some film of my new Jack Dempsey! He wasgetting little tiny pieces of hikari carnivore pellets from the surface right infront of me!!

He is totally bold! he will come to the glass to watch me and even attack at my fingers and general movement outside the tank.

He is awesome!

Anyway, enough rambling! the vid!

(Educational hip hop included, WOOT WOOT)

1080p HD!

Why do you feed by hand?

Mainly because no matter how hard I look I cant find a proper set of hemostats

I can only find the salad ones, and to be honest I'd rather use my hands than deal with those things lol

Almost any reptile store will sell them or you can easily get them online cheap.

Try holding the prey lower to the floor of the enclosure - less likely to jump straight out then!! Pretty much any pet shop in the UK you can buy 12" tweezers which is what we use to feed ours.
