thats mad to acturaly see a snake eating another snake

Yeah
My sons garter snake escaped once and the night after so did a king snake... we found the king snake a little fatter. My son wasn't impressed.

omg, kings are escape artists tho, they do take it to a new level, my very first snake was a king and was for ever escaping the amount of viv locks i have bought, but now i keep all my kings in rubs as i have found they cant get out of these. lol

hahahaha yeah thats probably the best idea, will bear that in mind for when i get the next one in.

King snakes are the masters! I dig King Cobras, will probably get myself one when i grow up, they are so awsome!!

very good vid

if I have 1 snake escape, I would be in big trouble, I had my corn snake escape once, I had not put the lid on the tub properly, I had to unpack the whole freaking garage!! but I found her, and the garage got a good cleaning.

I make a point of setting aside snake time, so that I make sure when I do handle my snakes, I do it 1 by 1, and not all at once, cos I find the moment you do too many things at once, you can forget to close a cage, put on a lock, seal a tub properly etc etc, Ive developed a process I follow, and it has worked for me, the last thing I want is a HOT snake escaping. So I take my time and pay attention to detail.

Btw I saw a video of a King snake eating a rattle snake, now that is scary!! but awsome, nature is wonderful

I stitched three boomslang together for my King Cobra for a meal (they were DOR's), and that was something to see

MArtin where Are you based?

North West Province

Kewl, you not the MAD martin are you?

SAw the other pics sorry! so how is your house mates doing?

Not too shabby, just busy bodies. Bloody puff adders are taking over the bed.

I figured youd be up, not bescause you have lots to do, but because you dont have a place to lay your bones! how has the snouteds been?

Snouties aren't bad.
The really problem snakes in here are the Black Mambas and the Puff Adders. Blacks because they are getting bolder, and puffs because they are being puffs.

@What is that lying on the bed clsoe to the pillow? (live feed)

Well, under the sleeping bag is a few puff adders, and then near the pillow is my camera

Oh, ja those puffies are everywhere! how do you feed the snakes?

The puffs get fed as a group by the t.v. The mambas get fed here in my "stoep" area, alternated with the boomslang. And the cobras get fed in the cupboards

Sounds like feeding time can get very interesting there! So you have green and Black mambas, snouteds and puffs?

and boomslang.
One of the blacks was on my head now

Remember when Austin Stevens woke up with his trousers full of different snakes and could not move.

Is that a snake in your pans or is there more than expected?
