Posting the new thread that was moving off topic.

I have heard so many bad things about force feeding. And have resorted to it myself when the snake was SO far gone. But I won't again. They all died. Now it is my strong opinion that if the snake is so far gone that force feeding would be required. It will probably kill the snake.

Assist feeding on the other hand. No harm done and usually works all things considered.

Can we make this the official assist/force feeding thread? That would be cool.
