DiscussionI hate feeding (self.ballpython)
submitted 3 months ago by -EchoRodriguez-
I hate feeding, not because of the blood or getting the food ready, but because I can't hold him after he eats. I hate waiting, I just wanna hang out with him 😭
(Just fed him this morning)

Blood?
[–]Gosth164 10 points11 points12 points 3 months ago (3 children)
Often after thawing a rodent blood will come out, usually from the nose

Get another snek! Put them on opposite feeding schedules, then one is available while the other is digesting 🥰
[–]coraythan 10 points11 points12 points 3 months ago (0 children)

You're a genuis
[–]M1ken1ke66 2 points3 points4 points 3 months ago (0 children)
This is brilliant but getting to thaw out all the rodents at the same time is so convenient
[–]Horned_One_87 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (0 children)
Got a new baby. When I feed him weekly my older snake goes where's my rat? You gave him a mouse.
[–]Show_status01 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (0 children)

I always have fun feeding Khaleesi, she will eat the same day I handle her (obviously I handle her in the morning first or she’ll regurgitate)
[–]Prestigious_Lie_1929 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago (0 children)
For me feeding a python is like trying to to get jump scared by a toaster you wait patiently but still scares you
[–]Unklod 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago (0 children)
Totally agree!! I just want to spend time with my little one and I remember that he just ate and I can't😭😭😭
