**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.

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. |

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. |

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. |
