Hi there i am going to attemp to feed fire tonight. Its the first time for me to feed so is there any pointers i have to do as i dont want her to eat my hand  Ash normally takes charge in feeding all the snakes but i just wanna get in there as hes working late tonight but i wont feed whiskey or his boa's as they are to big and aggressive feeders 
Any suggestions on how to attempt this will be helpful  |

Just be careful about substrate - maybe move her into a seperate box? Has the benefit of her associating being fed with being in a seperate box and wont be as likely to bite if picked up from her viv/Box!

Actually sometimes a snake without a strike reflex with feeding is perfect for getting to grips with feeding.
I fed my corn by hand yesterday, she's got a helluva feeding response and strike reflex normally, but I was actually quite surprised at her accuracy for food and gentleness in striking for the food.

Lol well done hunny , I will leave you a guide for next week but think may have to skip fire's feed due to her eating two pinks she has now gone in to shed and i don't have a problem with the corns eating while in shed but don't want you to feed her while in blue as she might get a lil nasty so rather you wait until she comes out of shedd then you can feed her , it won't harm her one bit if she skips one meal.  |
