If you don't like snakes you're probably really hating these last few videos
I'm sorry, but today's video is yet another video about snakes so in this video. I forgot my opening
What am I talking about? Hey howdy? Hey guys? How are you doing? How could I forget to say Hi?
I'm sorry my bad . Anyway...
This video is going to feature dead rats and dead mice so if you can't handle those things you probably don't want to watch this
Video I'm not gonna censor it I'm not gonna do anything because snakes eat mice
It's what happens you can't have a vegetarian snake. Just like you can't have a vegan Fox
So what we're gonna be doing today is feeding all of my snakes and showing you guys the different ways in which they all eat
Because they all have a little bit of a different personality
when it comes to how they eat and what they are comfortable with
I do not feed live mice one in captivity snakes often
have a hard time hunting as
Efficiently as they do in the wild so they strike and they miss a lot and it becomes a very stressful situation
For not only the mouse that's about to be killed
But for the snake as well. snakes actually don't hunt because they are having fun hunting, they hunt because they're hungry
So if they're able to eat without having the whole hunting part, you know having to worry about that
That's all the less problem for them, so one
It's not only stressful for the snake and the mouse
But two, the mouse can end up harming the snake if the snake bites the mouse improperly / doesn't strike it quick enough / takes
Too long / doesn't want to eat it immediately
The mouse can end up picking on the snake and end up hurting the snake
So I think it's best to feed frozen and that's what I do. That's what I do for all my snakes
I am trying my hardest to keep all my snakes on frozen food
So that's what I'm feeding you're not gonna see any live mice being killed today
You're just gonna see a lot of already dead mice being eaten, so that's the video for today, and I hope you guys enjoy
(Electronic music)
Before the snake feeding starts really quick I do want to show you guys this awesome amazing new merch I have for sale
I'll make this really quick
I promise this is a Nala the Hedgehog plushy my little baby cheering
hedgehog
Has a cute little note on the back for everyone with little Nala cheering and yeah, I haven't opened this yet
I was waiting until I did this little thing to open it so this is the plushie. It's adorable
I love it so much even if no one else buys it. I'm gonna be so happy with it because it's so
Freaking cute. It's my little baby Nala
And she gets a little t-shirt you could take the t-shirt off if you'd like she doesn't have to wear it
I thought the little shirt was super cute made it unique in comparison to other stuffed hedgehogs that are out there
I've been working on this for so long, and I've been just so excited to get it out, so I'm so happy
It's finally here anyway. I'm gonna shut up now
I hope you guys enjoy the video, but if you want to check this out the link is in the description okay, bye!
Okay, so first up we're gonna start with Celia. Celia eats in her enclosure there has been no aggression issues whatsoever with her eating in
Her enclosure I've never had problems with that correlating the way that she tolerates me putting my hand in the cage
She never strikes. She knows that I am NOT food
I've never had any issues with caged aggression with feeding her in her enclosure. Actually, when I first got her
I was newer to owning snakes so I tried taking her out and doing the method where you feed them in a box
But she actually wouldn't eat when I did that it made her more stressed to be moved around during feeding time so
Instead we just keep her in her enclosure now. I do is. I put it in front of her and I wiggle it
Nope she missed. There we go!
He's close to shedding and it won't focus and
Anyway, he's so close to shedding that he will not be eating today
I can already tell that if I were to offer him anything
He will strike at it in attack mode, but not try to eat it
Ya, see he just was like get it away from me basically so
He doesn't want to eat and I'm not gonna bother him about that
Now, this lighting's gonna be kind of weird for a second, but Maui is one who is starting to show very bad caged aggression
He's the only snake I have that's doing this, but because of this I'm gonna start trying to feed him outside of his enclosure
So he stops associating my hand going in there with him eating
You know being fed
So clearly it can definitely go both ways with snakes, snakes can either get more stressed out by you moving them, or they can end
up getting really bad tank aggressions
I do believe it depends on your snake
Personally and your preference, and I don't think there's any right or wrong when it comes to it
Hey Maui, how you doin'? How you doin' bud? I'm going to lift this up
He's gonna go in a little shoebox, so he eats rats so here he is
Gonna try to put that in there there we go perfect! Now, let's leave him alone.
Next up we have Violet who's back here and her humid hide
She actually looks like she's about to shed so she may or may not eat now we do have a situation here with
Violet where I have to "brain"
It is very gross basically. I have to cut open its head and halve its brain hang out
So just spare you guys from that. I'm not gonna film this part
I'm sure it's already hard enough to look at these dead mice let alone watch me cut its head open
There we go
All right next up we have Salem
Gucci here. Let's see if I can find her she looks like she just recently shed. Anyway we're gonna go ahead and feed her a mouse
There we go now she got it
Now Toast eats two pinkie mice, and I have to "brain" them, so I'm not gonna show you this part
He has moved on to baby mouse number two
Now for Tate, Tatertot ate not even a week ago, so he's probably not gonna eat. I did "brain" this one
I haven't taken the brain fully out, but I've opened his scalp
You just can't see it from here, and I don't really want to show you. So here
I have a juice that's basically gonna act as kind of like a perfume almost
And I'm going to be putting it on this mouse because in the wild most ball pythons eat African soft fur rats
So they're going to get this scent of the African soft fur and it's gonna make them feel more comfortable
Eating this white little mouse instead so that's what we're gonna do right now
Probably don't have to use as much but Tate is such a picky eater that I am really trying my hardest here
And then we're gonna let it sit for a minute, and then we're gonna feed him
Then we have my little corn snake here who doesn't really have an official name. We just call him Lego
We haven't really named him yet, but he likes eating in the dark and he eats a mouse
There we go
This is Frank. Frank likes to give us a hard time with eating he does like to bite cameras though. That's so sweet
It's so weird because he's very, um,
He's a very picky eater, but he does like to strike at every other thing other than the dead mice
He's super pretty; a lot of you guys don't know him yet. He's a paradox so he has some don't fight me
I'm just trying to point at you buddy stop it
Then I'm gonna go ahead and leave him alone in there and I will get him out later after he eats
Thank you guys so much for watching. I love you guys so much, and I will see you guys or you'll see me next time
