smash it okay nice
it's been a funny season for me i have a
few snakes that just
do not desire to eat so before
attempting to do this
i've tried multiple times every day
basically to try and get these snakes to
eat
and they don't want to eat i've even
tried sticking them in these little
things
with the rat hoping that they will eat
but this guy even escaped from the
little thing
so avery wanted to hold the snake so
here just be gentle and you can hold
this one until i feed it
i'll feed this one first i'll show you
how i do my force feeding
it's always better for somebody to show
you in person
something that's kind of creepy it's
scary you want to use like the smallest
animal you can to force feed them
you don't want to be the bigger the
animal you try to force feed them the
harder
the harder it will be for you
i kind of just taught myself i did uh
it used to take me just sometimes it
took me like an hour just to get
something
down a snake because i was scared and
being scared can be good because it
means that you care it means that you're
careful
now i'm not really scared anymore i
still care but it's just i
i've learned a way that works very well
for me i forgot my nasty little rat
water tub so i'm gonna force it to eat
and then we're gonna put them away okay
and then you if you want you can hold a
different snake
that one um
let's bring you closer
okay someone's actually coming to pick
up a snake today
very nice no i don't know if charlie
charlie might visit us too we'll have to
see
so here is my first troublesome snake
is i'm taking a q-tip and i'm pulling
the
fluffy stuff off of it i like q-tips
because you know
they're cheap there's tons of them you
use it
you throw it away it's not something you
really want to reuse after it has
rat gut mouse guts all over it so
here we have a tiny little mouse
it's a tiny little mouse
can we feed it we're gonna feed it to
this snake and then we're gonna have to
put the snake away
so first thing i'm doing is i'm wetting
it
because if i wet it it's going to be
able to slide down a little easier
then what i'm going to do is i'm going
to grab this snake
behind its neck and it's going to try
and fight and curl up
and get away but i'm holding it
like this let's go
closer okay that's as close as we can go
so i'm holding the snake's head
i'm grabbing the little mouse and i'm
putting it in head first
and there we go
so that little head is going to take a
dive
into the snake's mouth
and then with the cute tip
i'm gonna shove it down
and now the problem is the snake tries
to twist its neck
and as it twists its neck the um
the mouse has a harder time going down
[Music]
so you have to untwist the snake's neck
there's another one
yeah there's another one right after did
you let your snake get away
my turn
if only they spent half the effort
fighting
saying hi to you and trying to live
that'd be great
you did it you put the thing
there's some water in the mouth
okay we're just i'm trying to
concentrate
why oh the mouse guts came out
that's uh it's the worst
it's yaki lucky
yeah it is it's stinky it's kinky
i don't have gas don't worry nobody
likes it
look sink one away from me
see it twists its neck around
so that the food won't go down
so we have to get it going
there we go you did it almost
almost oh
how about this thing did that snake's
next and hopefully it's better than this
one
because that was oh that's it's
disgusting
well hopefully that one doesn't explode
and then with all four with four of my
fingers
i go i grab it and i i
i apply pressure see so the rat
the mouse is in here and what i do is i
grab it on top
and onto two sides and i just squeeze
until it goes down down down
yeah into the stomach
yay and there we go now i gotta rinse it
because it's disgusting and put it in
its home
and then i'll be back with the other one
it's going down into its belly
and the red is getting eaten
[Music]
yes and it smells so yucky
i'm gonna rinse it off and put it away
[Music]
i
[Music]
i have to feed it you want to go get
mika go get mika
do you want you want makeup i want the
big one
you want a big one okay then just calm
down we're gonna do this
and then you can play with the big one
yeah we're feeding one to this i've
this guy's never been force-fed uh
so once again hold it behind the head
and you can kind of like
at the back of the head there's like the
jaw and you can kind of gently
apply a little bit of pressure which
gets them to open their mouth a bit
then we're going to stick the little
baby mouse in head first
yeah come on open up oh we missed it
we missed it oh we have another fighter
oh another fight so we get that head
you got another fight oh we got another
fighter
oh actually it's doing good right now
well hopefully it doesn't explode it
looks like we're doing okay
just slide down slide
down oh
this one's going down without a fight
well a little bit of a fight but it
didn't explode
it didn't explode
so once again two fingers
on the top and bottom two fingers on the
side
and i gently squeeze i gently squeeze it
down
applying even pressure because if you're
just pushing on the top or bottom or on
the sides you probably heard it
and we don't we don't want to hurt it we
want to help it
and now what i'll i'll do this now every
two weeks
until they um start eating on their own
and you can see its head is free it's
not trying to bite me or anything so i'm
being gentle
and there we go that was that was
actually a lot nicer
there's a lot nicer than the other one
hey there's there's rattle over my
mouse all over my fingers so we're going
to clean him
we're going to put him away
