Ball Python vs Medium Rat
Like 2 Dislike 0 Published on 29 Sep 2011
My Ball Python taking out its bi-weekly meal of a Medium Rat. You will not hear any laughing in the background, as this is not entertainment for me. I'm just feeding the snake what it eats. I do find it fascinating, but that is snakes in general.
I choose to feed my snake 'live' food as apposed to frozen/thawed to try and make the snakes life in captivity as 'realistic' as possible. I do realize that it is safer for the snake and 'easier' on the rat/mouse to use pre-killed. I have feed this snake frozen/thawed and it will eat those with no issues. Just my personal preference.This snake is a very hearty eater and never hesitates to eat anything that is put in the cage. At the same time, I have never been bitten or struck at with this python.
Respect is given when handling and feeding. Great care is taken in keeping the enclosure clean and tidy with fresh substrate and water. A close eye is kept on the temperature and humidity. Very healthy snake, always sheds in one piece in the year and half I have had it.
I am no animal activist, but I am against cruelty. I do not consider this cruelty as it is merely NATURE. Is it a bit 'rough' sometimes? Sure, but that is the way of the world. If you can't handle or don't like seeing these things, then maybe you shouldn't be watching or searching for these types of videos. Answer? Most likely cause your a troll.
Rude, animal cruelty, or just plain stupid comments will be deleted. As a heads up, I am not subjective to 'internet intimidation' from someone that gets big and bad behind a keyboard because of the anonymity that the internet provides. So don't waste your time if your just trolling, your comment will be deleted.
