lol....pimpslapping= first getting the amazon's attention and get him posed in that classic ammie double S strike pose...not hard to do...ammie owners know what I mean....then offer the food on tongs...established feeders will take it right away...they are seldom reluctant to feed...some like to nose it a bit...get a good sniff...then WHAM!!!!!!oops sorry Morti [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] Some however are shy at first and reluctant to feed. bop him on the side of front S curve...he will shift...bop him on the other side and keep bopping side to side with the dead mouse untill it infuriates him and he bites it...at this point he will either take it and wrap it or recoil...as long as he got a little taste all is usually well...if he bites it and lets go ..just leave it with him...he knows it's there and will usually eat it after a few minutes of making sure you are done bopping at him. In the unlikely event that this doesn't happen...repeat next week....it will work...usually the first time but nothing is 100% the first time...amazons however are not known to be problem feeders....ever.
Sorry X....as I told ya in chat, you can't use this on a ball python. Only works on snakes that use attitude driven snappyness for defense. ball pythons are shy and will usually just ball up and hide if you go bopping at them. They just need to be left alone and feel secure...a hide in the feed box and lights out usually eventually helps...but they can go on for several months before feeding. Once they start feeding though, they are usually pretty predictable about when or if they will fast.
