Default the things we do for our snakes...!

i just had to share this cos i`ve never done it before and i was nearly sick
i`ve just brained a gerbil for my royal cos he`s been off feed...i did it with a sharp knife but it was the noise it made...like a crunching sound..eewww
i hope he eats it cos i don`t fancy doing that again!
it`s a good job i love him

Urgh. I hammered a few nails through a rats head recently, in an attempt to get my burm to feed. It was a waste of time too, cos he ignored it!

Tried offering or scenting it with a day old chick? That was the secret with mine!

Gotta say i love my Oscar loads but when he wouldn't eat the other month i had to get the hubby to do the braining of the pinkie, and to add insult to injury he totally ignored it, gave me his i'll eat when i want to because i'm a royal attitude and ate his mouse as normal the following week.

I remember going to Brighton for the weekend and the daughter ringing me to say that there wasn't any mice in the freezer for Oscar, i don't trust anybody else to buy my babies mice, they might not be clean or healthy, i don't buy just any old mouse for my baby lol, anyway i made my hubby scout around the shops in Brighton so a could get oscar his dinner, travelled from Brighton to Manchester with the mouse defrosting in the boot ready for his evening meal.
