A lot of Corns don't seem to strike.

Our corn strikes she goes absolutely ballistic feeding time, anyone would think shes starving, minus a 7 day break for next feed

Dammit I hate that hunger strike royals have a habbit of doing, im dreading it, if it happens to my 2 boys.

Yup great feeling *pats monty gently on the head* Scorned look at Topaz *hurry up will ya*

is there any advantage to strike feeding , or is it it how you should feed royal's , just wondering as i just place a warmed defrost in , and within 5 mins he/she strikes and eats it no problem , so far every time ! (exept in shed!) so i planned to continue this method, or should i be encourage it to strike from tongs?

Its what they do in the wild & its better for the snake as it lets them think that its caught its food, plus easier on the owner.

Ahh well done Monty - perhaps he could have a word with my royal - we are assist feeding aswell.

soz for interuptin you thread by the way , im just concerened that the snake would associate my hand goin in the viv with feeding every time , and that it may bite the tong and damage its teeth

Dont ever feed the snake in the viv, always take it out & place in some kind of container & use tweezers to food with, the chances of you being bitten by your snake if you feed in the viv are probally around 95% as it will associate your hand everytime thinking its dinner time.


Aww good luck I still have Topaz to sort out, & hopefully this strike wont be the last, he had better strike again next feed,
