In Reply to: I think my new rat snake is evil posted by Cidly on September 23, 2002 at 10:02:20:
Several days ago, you asked..."How can I get my snake to eat live prey?"...Knowing full well that he had been raised on f/t...we advised against it. I suggested that the live prey might actually injure such an inexperienced snake. Try educating yourself a little and applying what you learn. Don't use your snake as a source of cheap entertainment if you know that what you are doing is bad for him. Good luck. I hope it all works out. Duffy
:I tried to fead my rat snake a live mouse and he bit him 5 times and didnt eat him, the next day the mouse died from his wound.And
:I took Loki(my everglades rat snake) out of his cage and started to handle him and he bit me. He latched on to me and wouldnt let go, the fear or hurting his mouth kept me from puling him of me. He finaly let go and now im gona have a small scar. And he tried to swallow the mouse but he spit him out alive, Im amost sure that the mouse bit him in the back part of his mouth. because now I cant even get him to eat a f/t mouse. He was raised on those and he wont eat em, maby he didnt get bit in the mouth, but didnt snakes evolve mouths that are vertually impossible to get dammaged when eating mice? How come he wont eat, ive had him almost a week now . Should I wait another week before feeding him so he can get adjusted to his cage? did he only bite me because it was only the second day I had him? hes pretty big but not full grown and hes never eaten a live mouse before, does he have the instinct to eat a live mouse without hurting his mouth, is his mouth probly biten from the time he atempted to swallow the mouse? will he bite me again? well thanx for any reply you make
