My new pet @ feeding time

[Dee205]

Got 'Elvis' the Butter Motley Corn snake on Friday past.
Had his first feed here, today. A nice pinkie mouse. Mmmmm

Vid is a bit dark. Don't like to blind him too much.

Mmm goes down smooth...

Do you buy the mice frozen and microwave them or breed them for the purpose?

Guy I got the snake off breeds mice and rats for feeding. Got half a dozen frozen of him.
Best to feed dead as live food can scratch or bite the snake.

Handiest method to defrost is to stick them in a wee food bag and put them in a jar of hot water. Doesn't take long at all. Keeping them in the bag means their scent isn't washed away in the water.
They can explode if you micronuke them or can cause hot spots in the food too.

No fair fella, put a live mouse/rat in. Make that scaley worm work for his din-dins.
