OK well i feel dumb..

Gertie, I hear that sound a lot. We have a large population of wild bunny wabbits living right in the yard.

When the coyotes get hold of one it sounds freaky.

Ever listen to the sounds a rat makes when a python grabs them?

Or the sound of a crushing skull as a monitor lizard bites down?

Oh what lovely sounds they are... NOT!!! I hope she eats for you soon!

Maybe I'm weird, I can sit here and toss live prey to my animals all day long....

But I cannot sit through ANY gory movies

Folks are always trying to tell me how cool "saw" or similar films are, cannot waste my time trying to watch that crap.

Cuz I'm too busy watching my monitor crush skulls

[anji1971]

Wayne, I can totally relate!
The gory movies do absolutely nothing for me, other than make me feel ill. Chopping snake food up with scissors is not a problem at all, though. Go figure...........

i can watch it all movies live pray everything im not bothered abit.. now say it someone that cares about rats as pets or rabbits OH MY GOD you the MOST horrible person in the world and you going to hello for it..

i called around to different pet stores trying to find rabbits for food for her i got hung up on more times that a telemarketer does.. i swear reptiles need to eat to.. its a cold hard fact of life.

Got one lady at the pet store she's like snakes eats rabbits? really? eyes all bight and i said no it just wants a cage mate its lonely lol

Natalie, do you have a feed store near you? They often have rabbits or at least bunnies. How about a comercial breeder? Rabbits are yummy

I care about all animals, Heck we even have pet mice and pet rats.

I often sit and play with the hopper mice while I am feeding them and such, However I like my reptiles a "few clicks" more than the fuzzy little rodents.

I was thinking the same as Tami- maybe the agricultural approach will be more productive- feed stores and the like.
Also, have you thought about just trying a live large rat (with supervision) ? It would be a small meal, but still a meal.

If the snake is eating rabbits, I would stick to them for now simply for the fact that the snake may become "addicted" to other prey items and not want rabbits anymore. This happened with my carpet python and she will NOT touch a rat no matter what I do. She is addicted to mice and had been before I purchased her.

Natalie, a few questions for you. What size cage is the snake in, and how long is the burm? What type of method are you using to heat her and what is your substrate?I couldn't seem to find the other thread with this snake in it. If she is truely a female I am pretty sure she should be pounding anything you offer her.

Have you considered feeding pigs instead of rabbits?

its the one she came in till we get taxes.. its the 6 foot long by 3 1/2 foot wide by 2 1/2 foot tall vision cage... she's between 13 to 14 foot.. there's a heat panel on the top on the left and 2 under the tank heating pads the ones from boaphile the ones that thin wire things under the left said so she has a whole left side that is heated.. with a thermostat.. the right side is cooler for her.. I mister her 2-3 times a day to keep her humity up..

right now substrate is news paper for quatine precausions...

she also has a 2 1/2 foot long bowl of water so she can get half of her body in at a time to bath and drink..

havent tryed pigs yet..
