I fed some of my snakes tonite..this is LORINGA..a 7' BCI..female...I actually hand fed her with no problems...as I do my other lil snakies. She is one of my new ones..A rescue in fact from a VA reptile rescue. Due to her condition when I got her she is presently fed a smaller rat than she can actually take, BUT on a weekly basis versus the 14 day schedule I do for this size BCI normally...

<IMG SRC=http://photo.redtailboa.net/albums/LORIS-Photos/LORINGA_FEED_7_BCI_10_20_01.jpg>

As usual I let her sit in the feeding tote for about 45 minutes before taking her out after she ate her rat. I opened her taote and she was giving me this strange look [img]images/forum/icons/icon_eek.gif[/img] I just ignored it of course..DUH...and reached in for her. I had her below her "neck" and also about 2/3 the way down her baody..When all of a sudden she just lunged at my hand. Amazing how they can contort themselves when they want to [img]images/forum/icons/icon_eek.gif[/img] [img]images/forum/icons/icon_confused.gif[/img] She sunk her teeth in not just once but kept letting go and biting again...like she was chewing. Can't get her to chew her food BUt she wants to chew my hand [img]images/forum/icons/icon_confused.gif[/img] [img]images/forum/icons/icon_frown.gif[/img] . Just a lil tickle under her chin and she released me [img]images/forum/icons/icon_eek.gif[/img] [img]images/forum/icons/icon_smile.gif[/img] I put her back into her feed tote and gave her 2 more rats..OK I GOT THE HINT ALREADY... So instead of having just one set of teeth marks from this bite , I got multiple sets on my hand [img]images/forum/icons/icon_confused.gif[/img] [img]images/forum/icons/icon_frown.gif[/img] Course everyone backed away and my husband grabbed the digi-cam..Gotta love em!!

<IMG SRC=http://photo.redtailboa.net/albums/LORIS-Photos/LORINGA_7_BCI_BITE_FEED_RESPONCE_10_20_01.jpg>

Doesn't look so bad after it's cleaned up..BUT #$%^&#$%^&#$%^&#$%^& that hurts when they "CHEW" !!

Crikey..NAW ..it was more like this... [img]images/forum/icons/icon_mad.gif[/img] [img]images/forum/icons/icon_mad.gif[/img] [img]images/forum/icons/icon_mad.gif[/img] [img]images/forum/icons/icon_mad.gif[/img] [img]images/forum/icons/icon_mad.gif[/img] [img]images/forum/icons/icon_mad.gif[/img] [img]images/forum/icons/icon_mad.gif[/img] [img]images/forum/icons/icon_mad.gif[/img] .. If she wasn't so wrapped on my hand she woulda gone for a flight lesson...to the couch..I haven't been tagged by this size bci in a looooong time..forgot how much ya actually feel it [img]images/forum/icons/icon_eek.gif[/img] [img]images/forum/icons/icon_eek.gif[/img] [img]images/forum/icons/icon_confused.gif[/img]

Don't fret Princez...There's always next feeding to get your turn in hehe [img]images/forum/icons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Eddie..I normally would, but, as i said..she's a rescue and I didn't want to overburden her digestive tract..she had been off feed for awhile. Hard lesson learned to NOT ignore that look, especially in this size bci ever again... [img]images/forum/icons/icon_eek.gif[/img] [addsig]

hehe, I bet you thought Mr. Hissy would be the one to get ya! [img]images/forum/icons/icon_razz.gif[/img] Good thing it wasn't him though, considering he's 10ft versus 7ft. I really thought a bite from that size boa would be more brutal looking than that. I'm sure it hurt bad, but kinda makes me feel better knowing I won't lose a limb to a snake [img]images/forum/icons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] hehe, just the monitors I have to worry about now [img]images/forum/icons/icon_razz.gif[/img] [addsig]

Hey Lori , I didn't mean to stuff it! I normally have some smaller food going at the same time, and if one of mine act like that , then I'll put a lg. mouse or a rat pup in. They usually take just 1 or 2 before they realize fullness and stop. Then I still give them some time to calm down. I gave my arg/redtail mix ,( baby-24'') too much time yesterday.. man was he PI$$ED!!! [img]images/forum/icons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [addsig]

LOL, I haven't been bitten during feeding yet. But, my JCP gave me bite #15-something yesterday. I was handling her and she finally slowed down and just coiled up in my hand and went to sleep....or so I thought. I was talking to some friends that came over with my other hand that wasn't holding the JCP. My hand wasn't even that close, maybe a foot away, and she got nervous from the movement and nailed me on the back of my fingers. It certainly caught me by surprise. lol You think she was trying to tell me to shut up?
