Also I have always been told that it is better for the snake if you feed frozen! This way stories above dont happen. All you have to do is put the frozen food in hot water for 15 minutes then the snake feels the heat and then they go for it. I have many peole (the ones who like to watch i am sure) that their snake wont eat frozen. I think it is funny because when their snake was in my car it ate frozen every week.
