Re: Your Worst Mistake
My first snake was Yoshi. She is a BP and she was about 18" long at the time.
First feeding. My husband, step daughter and I were standing around the feed box. I put Yoshi in the box and dropped the mouse in before I had put the lid on. Well, her food was in the box and she was climbing out, so gently grabbed her to put her back in with her food, and that's when she got me. Normal reaction, I pulled back my hand really fast, but she hadn't let go. So, across the kitchen she went flying. She hit the refrigerator and landed on the counter. I was crying so hard because I thought I had hurt her. My husband was asking me why I did that, and my step daughter was laughing so hard she was crying. I went over and picked up Yoshi, checked her for injuries and put her back in the feed box to see how much I had traumatized her. Well, she ate, and she hasn't missed a meal in almost three years. She is now about 4' long and is a finely tuned eating machine, and the sweetest snake.
