Don't go by what you read in those books as a lot of the info in them is out of date.
And don't worry too much about force feeding unless you are at the very last thing to do in order to save the animals life.
Force feeding is best left to those that are experienced in such matters, and or a qualified vet.

Also, why do you need help?
To learn or do you have a non feeding snake?

How about reading up in the older forums for a while?
There is a wealth of good , up to date info in them, a klot better than your book in most cases.

Also, as far as force feeding a snake, especially a BP, understand that there are times that BPs come off feed and sometimes they can stay off feed for a VERY long time, sometimes up to and beyond 12 months.
If the book says that you need to force due to a missed meal or two, then you'd be best served by putting the book on the reference shelf, taped shut and just digging in and reading the forums here.

If a thread cojfuses you or ya find something you can't understand, then ask your questions on that thread so we can see where you got that way.

Your assignment this week is two hours of reading a day, every day. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

yeah force feeding is something that you should only have to do as a last resort, like eddie said
