**GRAPHIC CONTENT***
If your trying to get your snake from one prey onto another then "jacketing" is a option to try.
In this video i have jacketed a rabbit with a rat for a bci boa,but other animals can be used.

I think I have seen one of those hats in Topman.

Very informative and something people considering working up to the more difficult snakes should see. Cheers.

you have only had him a few weeks, give him a chance to settle. It has only missed 3 feeds with you, so there is no need to rush in with this.

I have mentioned this before as have a few others, they take longer to settle than corns a, give it that chance.

not alot of point jacketing a mouse with a mouse i know what you mean,mouse over a rat,should do,soak the rat for a few hours while defrosting in warm water to get the scent off

Fantastic video. Fascinating and informative too,I think that'll be helping a lot of people with issues on feeding larger snakes
Couldn't help but think of a Giant Panda cuddly toy at the end,sick I know.

very nicely done Lee,

Also think you might want to add the link to your guide to non eating snakes
