i lay the table with candles and a knife and fork and a plate to match the size of the meal! i then gently rub his belly until he uses the spurs to pick up his cutlery and eat!!



try googling tap training for snakes.... or think about the name you should work it out. thats how you want to be feeding your retic, as i gues this is why you are asking!

i use tap training and tweezers for the rest of mine!

Various different ways, most are strike feeders in tubs (so fed with tongs), other have to be in their vivs, some floor feeders (foods just put in by hand), got a couple of assist feeders (damn baby jungles, grrrr) got two fresh feeders, one prekill feeder infact thinking about it, my lot pretty much cover every way of feeding there is

I just use a pair of tweezers to hold the mouse. My Boa strikes for it and my kingnskae strikes if it can be bothered, otherwise it pick it up off of the viv floor.

I take all my snakes out of their vivs and put them in feeding boxes.Then i offer up the rats or rabbits with 18 inch feeding tongs.I leave them in the box for around 20-30 minutes after they have fed so they know there is nothing else coming in and then i put them back in their vivs to digest their meals.

I feed mine with tongs in ther tubs i see no point taking them out as it would take ages to feed them that way they all strik feed from the tongs and i only have one that will only eat from the floor and thats my adult corn and all i do then it put the mouse by the entrance of his cave ortake cave out and out it by him and he eats it with the biger boa i feed him in his viv with bigger tongs!
