Good videos, Stefan. Sure, it's a shame they're taken through the plastic, but they still illustrate the violence of the whole proceedure!

Ouch!!! So glad I'm not a male snakey!!!!

To watch it in person is even more disturbing. My poor little guy got taken for a roller coaster ride the other day. She took him in the water dish and tried to kill him. Every lap around the enclosure he would look at me for help. All I could tell him was
"Enjoy the ride"

Rofl ... poor bloke!!! I think I read something about a pair of Spilotes being spotted in southern America where some poor male was literally hanging in mid air whilst getting dragged up into the canopy.

I couldn't agree more. I'm surprised they survive it, I sure as hell wouldn't.

A few years back I saw a wild female dragging a male through a rose bush....I felt sorry for him on both accounts.

Awh heck, don't feel to sorry for the poor "bloke" (not sure exactly what a bloke is but it sounds cool anyway) he was still enjoying himself.
I think back when I was 18, I would have let myself be hung in mid air and drug up a tree for a little action
One time shortly after introducing a pair, I heard a bunch fo noise, looked in on them and saw all the rapid rolling, and the thing is this particular female had been eating voracious for the past few weeks prior to introducing him, and she hadn't been fed for a few days so she came out with her mouth open wanting to be fed, so after seeing all the violent rolling, I was affraid for him and had to double check to make sure that she wasn't EATING the poor bloke
