I got a new hatchling, a butter, from Rich this Thurday. I put him in his viv once I got him. And did not handle.
Tonight, after my family and I came home (the wife and kids were asleep in the car) I decided to try to feed him. Some I went to the freezer in garage to get a f/t pinky and warm him up. Meanwhile, my youngest daughter decides to to clean her room. Here the viv is!! Bright lights, banging things around and the TV on. I have warm pinky in one hand and a brown paper bag I use as a feeding bag in other hand walking up to her room. The idea was, in the dark but snake in bag , he usually out at 10:pm, put pinky in. while house is quite!and wait.
Well snake is stress by now and I'm thinking not a good night for this, but I take him from viv anyway. Move him, pinky and paper bag to kitchen. I try to repeat above steps. It's a no go!
After 20 mins I put the snake,who is fighting me, in deli cup with a paper towel and put pinky in, close lid and put that in brown paper bag. Move again to den with only the PC monitor light and waited . Five minutes latter the pinky gone. I was lucky!
I should had waited. I feed my other snake at night too. When the house is quite and dark. Some thought for others.
