Most of these comments are people that know nothing about snake's. Somebody really thought that 1. the casing was to small 2. That force feeding seems cruel (he's actually saving the animals life) 3.That feeding rats to a snake is wrong. What would you prefer them to eat, zucchini? I also saw a comment about him seemingly being a non experienced breeder, when I can quite obviously tell the man knows what he is doing.
true ! :) I chuckled at "zucchini"... that'd be a sight :)) I imagined peopled buying shirts of the sort "my snake's a vegan". And yes, you can see he knows what he's doing. Especially with force feeding the snake. Getting it over with clean and smooth and as quickly as possible whilst not messing around. It's not a comfortable thing to do but you can't mess around doing it either if you absolutely have to.
+Kevin Rincon the caretaker of these snakes is extremely gentle with the fragile animals, and only puts the force that is necessary. Really difficult what he's doing at the end there, but he makes it look easy
Great video - I've referred back to this video many times to help me with hatchlings. But the part about assist feeding an entire pinkie still eludes me. First of all, the hatchlings I have that are not eating are MUCH smaller than yours! Also, when I assist feed them they are squirming around like crazy and not nearly as calm as yours was. I can get them to eat a pinkie head, but not the whole pinkie. I'll keep trying, but getting an t=entire pinkie down their throat is not nearly as easy as you've made it look in my case...
Eddie, not all hatchlings are the same, some are calm, others nervous and aggressive, whilst other will do their best to regurgitate. I think if yours take pinkie heads, it's a matter of time (and perseverance) and they will take the whole body.
+Green Python try warming up the food maybe not in microwave or anything just warm water snakes uses heat sensor to detect food source so maybe that would help
yeah, it really sucks when they die in front of your eyes instead of frozen to death in the back of a pet store, it's way easier to deny reality that way am I right?
I find that snakes need a sense of freedom. If Waylon Slithers (Yes. Really.) is going to spend the rest of his life in a box then he at least deserves to be treated to a live rat or mouse every now and then. Otherwise I'm just taking away the last thing he could hope for while in the box. It's not that I like live feeding, I just like my snake to be a happy boy.
And this is the part I really hate about keeping snakes....feeding time, especially when you wind up having to dance the pinkie around to get an interest, lol. I didn't buy my feeders - we ranched our own, so there was an element of familiarity there, which made it a little hard for me. A PETA member once expressed outrage that I fed the snake "my little friends", and could I not train it to be a vegetarian...after spitting out the drink I had just choked on, I explained that I never fed the snake my friends, just the ones that pissed me off...she had absolutely no sense of humor ;)
無言 欣 Skull.B I kid you not, she was serious! Somebody dragged me down to some local fund raiser for PETA - back then, I always had my rat - Charlie Parker - riding on my shoulder, and she came over and we started chatting...until she found out about my snakes, lol...if only Charlie had pee'd on her - but no, he was too much of a gentleman ;)
A Random Person it doesn't hurt. the snake has little holes on the lower jaw so it can breath while it has a rat, frog. etc. plus the snake can stretch out its jaws so it can eat things much bigger then itself. therefore it would not hurt the snake.
dudelivestrong u shouldn't do that because those mice have to go through hell to get to a pet store or wherever u get them so for them to go through all of that and expect a nice home only to be treated like trash is horrible
@@dudelivestrong I'd recommend against feeding alive unless there's some certain circumstances like your snakes used to eating live since they were a baby or a juvenile. Otherwise you should probably do frozen because live can harm your snake if they choose not to eat. But that was three years ago so I'm gonna leave this here for anyone who needs to know it
+Zod Iac Breast alone does not contain much besides protein. Snakes (well most anyway) really need organ meats and bones for all their mineral needs. This means whole prey is the best course of action. Plus for many snakes rodents are their main natural prey anyway. Mice and rats are also the cheapest fairly nutritionally complete animals to breed generally speaking (why do you think mice are used for lab experiments) so it's a pretty obvious choice for most. Another option is quall.
Great film, you show some techniques it took me time and experimentation to work out. I appreciate you gentle handling during the force feeding, that takes experience and patience. It's odd to see all the kids who were not aware that snakes eat and eat other animals -- whole. The only way snakes can survive is to eat what they are designed to eat. They can not switch and become VEGAN, they would just starve to death, slowly. Baby snakes need to eat animals in proportion to their own size. In nature they can not do that at times, just like in nature, lots of animals may starve to death: this is the role that animal keepers take on, caring for their animal charges and providing for their needs. It's pretty stupid to criticize a keeper for feeding snakes with feeder rodents: these were specifically bred and produced for this purpose. What do you think is in dog or cat food? Dead animals and filler. Frequently, the animal protein in dog / cat / other carnivorous animal feed is from animals raised and slaughtered for human consumption. Dog food often contains off-cuts, or portions of cattle pigs chickens etc that were raised and slaughtered for human consumption but the portions are not normally consumed by humans for one reason or another such as the part of the animal is not eaten in a given culture, it may come from an animal whose condition was not approved for human consumption, and so on. To the point though: captive raised baby snakes need to eat baby rodents, lizards, frogs, small fish, bats, birds, etc, just like in nature. doh.
Snakes have always been my favorite animal aside from cats, because they're fun to hold, they act funny, and they're cute. But, this video.. when you say to use the "pinky" i thought you meant the pinky FINGER and not the mouse head, because it looks like the snake is getting kisses, :P
Just saying in your comment it didnt seem like a joke because there was no sign to you using sarcasm. Everyone knows this snake doesnt chew so what are you trying to achive? Likes? Doesnt seem like anyone gives a damn shit about this comment
By your logic we shouldn't have a comments system because they achieve nothing. "No jokes allowed , unless you specifically point out obvious sarcasm so that no one feels like an idiot when taking them seriously", said Kelvin.
Cake Cawley oh you wanna talk about logic? Alright so tell how can i tell that someone is always joking on the internet? Because we cant see physical emotions. Thats exactly why this is happening. Tbh i just thought you were dumb as fuck and still do. By your logic you're telling me its my fault for taking you seriously and also i hate to talk about the topic logic. Because people are dragging in words that i've never said. Just like you did "you didnt use a joke you said got a lazy snake? Just shove the dinner down its throat he doesnt even chew" ok thats okay but when i took you seriously. Your comment was so ignorant it almost made me puke.
Really great video, love seeing snakes get proper care. Too many people buy them for the novelty of just having a snake and kill them due to inproper husbandry and lack of research.
+FatPanda It's pretty often not known why they won't eat. a few species have this commonly occur in the new born snakes and I personally think they just don't know what they're doing
+Cocoplops it is more like that they are too young to develop behavior in the "box" theirs instincts are programmed to eat in wild enviroment, when they are in some box, they can malfunction these instincts. Sorry for my english but i think u get the point
+Taumantis The exact definition of instinct contradict that.. You dont rationalize or consciously think about instinct. It just happens automatically, naturally and without your control.
OK, I admit I'm somewhat squeamish about feeding baby rats/mice (alive or dead) to snake hatchlings ... BUT these snakes, young as they are, are utterly beautiful. Plus there is certainly no shortage of rats or mice on the planet!!! A VERY interesting video.
I like this video not because I have any affection at all towards snakes, rather the opposite, but I do find humor in watching this guy sit there and poke the fuck out of these snakes with dead baby mice. 5/7 would recommend
1.4k people think that snakes can totally eat a vegetarian diet if they really try hard at it. Seriously, the dislikes on this video.. what did you expect? Snakes eat meat. Did you think he was feeding them marshmallows?
Wow the snakes kept missing! My little corn snake, once she spots the food, will strike and almost NEVER miss. She's like a beautiful red-and-gold bullet. :D
@DK 4 life, force feeding a none feeding hatchling is vital for its survival, sometimes they need that kick start by being force fed to get the digestive tract started, by doing so gets all the stomach enzymes doing their job which then makes the snake 'keen' to feed on its own. By not force feeding a none feeder can and does lead to anorexia (yes that really is a thing in reptiles too) by offering a none feeder a food item and then leaving it not eaten will encourage the problem further which will then lead to a slow death from being starved.
PLEASE HELP !!! I have a CB Hatching that wont eat. How long should i wait to see if he will eat on his own before i attempt to assist feed ? Thanks for this video it is exactly what i have been looking for.
Force Feeding, I have one that's wicked unwilling to eat and will fight me WAY more than your force feeder... but once far enough down his throat he'll take it But he has no aggressive bone... kind of worries me
Why are the snakes in small plastic boxes? That can't be even close to their natural habitat. Maybe that's why some snacks aren't eating. I don't think that's a natural way to house a snake. I don't know anything about snakes but I do know that any living creature who biologically came from natural desert or forestation wouldn't enjoy being in a plastic box with no stimulation or plants.
Really excellent video and explanations, even though it hurt watching it, because I keep lots of pet rats.. I enjoy watching them grow from pinkies all the way to juveniles and adults... Cheers, Rolf
If you'd watched the video to the end, you would have seen that he has tons of baby snakes. Obviously each feeding happened with another snake, instead of the same one.
Excellent example for a professionel breeder! I do it the same way. A lot of people think it´s brutal, or so, when you "push" the mouse in to the throat, but they ever forget, the snake was made for this,... They look at this as a human, that´s the problem, when you do this do a human, you feel bad, of course,.... But that´s the way snakes eat, they have a long big throat, and when you do it by the right way, like he do, you can´t hurt the snake,.. AND I think, it´s better as when the snake is dying by not feeding,... Many greets from Germany!!!
+pR1sooeem In the wild they catch live rodents and kill them before eating them, the smell of live or freshly killed rodents are more enticing to the snake, I've seen baby snakes who refused defrosted mice grab a live one almost immediately. Defrosted rodents are safer for captive snakes though, they don't bite
shame on u....these snakes live on trees and should not be held with these plastic fake thing u made 2 gave them somethin 2 climb.u can see the 1st snake already injured cause of da plastic CUTTING INTO HIS BODY
The force feeding reminded me of what some mums (human mums, of course! :D) do to their children! I never got the idea behind forced feeding! Doesn't it work like they will eat if they are hungry?! I don't know about snakes, but in case of humans, the children which were forced fed (or 'begged' fed in some cases! :D), usually turn out to be weak, skinny teenager and adults! I would say there is no need to force or beg children to eat, they'll eat once they are hungry. If it was not the case, the human race would have gone extinct a long time ago! Of course, again I have to admit I don't know if this is true with snakes or not! :) Or maybe you want to sell these snakes, so you need them to be fully grown as soon as possible?
Great vid.Had a buddy that his reptiles wouldnt move up to pinkies.Just bugs.They died.Sucks.The 13ft python would eat rabbits,but the ones(reptiles) he wanted to raise,died.
Dear God, Please put a Stop to pet shops selling baby Mice for food ❤ Please put an end to Snakes eating baby Mice permanently ❤ Thank you God ❤❤❤ Amen❤❤❤ We are So Very Grateful God❤❤❤ It's Cruel and Inhuman!😇💖💖💖

ah well, he needs to eat in order to live anyway.
It looks bad, but it's just humans who actually care about their animals. :)
yup, he's just so darn cute and making me go "awwww :'( "
There's nothing to be sad about, the mouse died long before it was used as food.
for some reason i tot the snake was a banana at the first place
me too😂😂
yea i thought i was the only one haha
IDK.BITCH me too 😂😂😂🍌

"Stop feeding it babies!"

you read my mind
as someone who loves rodents and snakes thank you for not live feeding:)
yeah, it really sucks when they die in front of your eyes instead of frozen to death in the back of a pet store, it's way easier to deny reality that way am I right?
I wish I could feed my snakes pre killed mice but they are really picky. They won't even eat mice that aren't white furred.
Kavi just slayed this whole thread. Damn.
I still think it's more humane than having them swallowed alive to die slowly while being digested but thats just me

are those still alive if not, I thot snakes only go for live preys bc they hunt by detecting body heat? and why did you have to force feed?
Everyone relax this python i 100% (safe) because every python is non-venomous
The snakes are not interested in this. This is gavage not feeding
Once you see this... YOU WANT A SNAK!!!
O god are those pinkies still alive?
look at that cute fella acting all gangtsa 'n shit. 😍😍😍
can u feed the baby mouse please?? Its also baby T_T
The force feeding looks kinda messed up tbh
when you do get difficult ones that don't like to feed. How many times do you have force feed them until they get the idea?
2-3 times
THEY ARE SO SMALL!!! 😍
I dont understand why you have to force feed it? Arent you parseltongue?
Dev Stevensons some babies don't know what to do with a mouse yet
I think she don´t want to eat anymore...why do you force them to eat something?
Because it would die else... Just like a child, if a child wasn't eating then it would be a trip to the hospital to be fed by tube....
they look like a mini bunch of bananas
Wow the snakes kept missing! My little corn snake, once she spots the food, will strike and almost NEVER miss. She's like a beautiful red-and-gold bullet. :D
Looks relaxed? Your Snake is in traumatic shock, just look at him. jeeezz force feeding, since when was that a thing
???? Do you some snakes refuse to eat so this really the only thing they can do to make sure the snake eats.
Force feeding was a thing ever since people started caring for endangered species...
@DK 4 life, force feeding a none feeding hatchling is vital for its survival, sometimes they need that kick start by being force fed to get the digestive tract started, by doing so gets all the stomach enzymes doing their job which then makes the snake 'keen' to feed on its own.

Force Feeding, I have one that's wicked unwilling to eat and will fight me WAY more than your force feeder... but once far enough down his throat he'll take it
But he has no aggressive bone... kind of worries me
Thats alot of snakes i only have one
Why are the snakes in small plastic boxes? That can't be even close to their natural habitat. Maybe that's why some snacks aren't eating. I don't think that's a natural way to house a snake. I don't know anything about snakes but I do know that any living creature who biologically came from natural desert or forestation wouldn't enjoy being in a plastic box with no stimulation or plants.
Really excellent video and explanations, even though it hurt watching it, because I keep lots of pet rats.. I enjoy watching them grow from pinkies all the way to juveniles and adults... Cheers, Rolf
Love that you are so caring to the baby snakes.
Snake: Stop poke me im sleepy!
aww it's a little noodle of cuteness

Inhumanely. ......!!!!! you killed the offspring of a rat or something and feeding it on them.....
you can buy them at a pet store frozen they are bred as feeders genius. these snakes cant eat anything bigger
SP95 ntR they were already dead its like a miscarriage rat
Gabby Extraordinaire I doubt this...how many miss carriage rats can they have.....it being done in an organized manner....
youre a fucking idiot
OMG, these little pythons are adorable. They look like ripe little bananas.
she's cute now
the last one looks painful
The snake is full but is forced to eat!
If you'd watched the video to the end,
you would have seen that he has tons of baby snakes.
Obviously each feeding happened with another snake, instead of the same one.
Excellent example for a professionel breeder!
I do it the same way.
A lot of people think it´s brutal, or so, when you "push" the mouse in to the throat, but they ever forget, the snake was made for this,...
They look at this as a human, that´s the problem, when you do this do a human, you feel bad, of course,....
But that´s the way snakes eat, they have a long big throat, and when you do it by the right way, like he do, you can´t hurt the snake,..
AND I think, it´s better as when the snake is dying by not feeding,...
Many greets from Germany!!!
really makes you wonder how these animals survive in the wild
+pR1sooeem In the wild they catch live rodents and kill them before eating them, the smell of live or freshly killed rodents are more enticing to the snake, I've seen baby snakes who refused defrosted mice grab a live one almost immediately.
Defrosted rodents are safer for captive snakes though, they don't bite
pR1sooeem many die in the wild
that is sad thy or babys😢
shame on u....these snakes live on trees and should not be held with these plastic fake thing u made 2 gave them somethin 2 climb.u can see the 1st snake already injured cause of da plastic CUTTING INTO HIS BODY
I want to eat a banana now
The force feeding reminded me of what some mums (human mums, of course! :D) do to their children! I never got the idea behind forced feeding! Doesn't it work like they will eat if they are hungry?! I don't know about snakes, but in case of humans, the children which were forced fed (or 'begged' fed in some cases! :D), usually turn out to be weak, skinny teenager and adults! I would say there is no need to force or beg children to eat, they'll eat once they are hungry. If it was not the case, the human race would have gone extinct a long time ago! Of course, again I have to admit I don't know if this is true with snakes or not! :) Or maybe you want to sell these snakes, so you need them to be fully grown as soon as possible?
Great vid.Had a buddy that his reptiles wouldnt move up to pinkies.Just bugs.They died.Sucks.The 13ft python would eat rabbits,but the ones(reptiles) he wanted to raise,died.
Dear God,

Heather Wells So you want all snakes on earth to die by some fictional being?
