I need tips for feeding...

[Snakelover06]

I'm new to having any kind of snakes nor have I witness one being fed and tomorrow is the big day. I'm pretty confident about moving him around and dealing with the food since I'll be washing my hands so he doesn't bite me. The thing I'm worried about is moving him after he eats. I know snakes can throw it back up if not handled right. Does anyone have any suggestions?

As long as you don't handle the snake for an extended time, you'll be fine. I just pick up the adults, and dump the little ones back into their enclosure.

Good luck!

I'll be a little more "CAV a lier" LOL about it. If you feed them in a seperate viv, thats smaller than their enclosure, just put the separate feeding container into their viv and tilt it a bit to let them gently slide out into their viv. If you must handle them, do the same, but slide them into your hand and then into their viv all in one! :cheers:
