I am a Penangites. I bought my feeder from a breeder in Penang Island. I can intro to you. He sell cheaper.

just a question tho... anyone feed snakes with the rodents from the drains and sewers? any concerns?

DO NOT DO THAT!!! lol..

they are dirty, carry unbelievable amount of parasites or maybe diseases, and very very nasty.. it can hurt the snake and you yourself..

i once caught a big drain rat at my house.. its was sooo nasty, even when i come near it, it started squeaking and attacking..

for my case,there's a pet shop shop nearby my house selling mice at 1 for RM3.50 while 3 for RM10.size wise soso2 lah.

from wat izzu mentioned earlier,female bp start breeding at 2 yrs old?

long way to go for may gal

usually around 2 yrs old or depending on their weight.. make sure their weight around 1200g or 1500g before start breeding them.. coz if da ball too thin, it may lead to small cluthes or small eggs..

(well, im not an expert on breeding, me myself unsuccessful in my attempt.. this is from what ive read..do correct me if im wrong anytime~~)

ps: coolio, i didnt know u haf ballies!!

i hv 1 female,normal lah of cos.after she's rdy go pancing my fren with morph play with her...mana tau ada rezeki

ic... just curious only... cuz my office's back alley have unlimited supplies of big juicy rodents like the size of a an adult gozzilla-ed guinea pig. anyway, did you feed your snake with that rat you caught?

anyway, here's a vid i found, feeding a phyton with a sewer rodent:

Actually the back alley rat is not da same sub-species as the captive rat...
you can compare it by their head and mouth area..
which the back alley rat had longer mouth and bigger jaw..

you may feed it to you snake (back alley rat)
but provided that u do some disinfectant and some cleaning by :

keep it for 1 or two week...
give clean food....
( usually it will cause a mess..cause they will never adapt into the cage life)

and you have it freezed before u feed it to your pet snake...
this will kill most of the bacteria in the rat...

that's why buying rat is the wiser choice rather than the back alley rat...

I may be wrong..

cheers

mrg peeps~

my ballie hantam 2 mice in a row for the 1st time,but tis time dunno why she swallow from the back leg,feel so pity cos she had to waste alot of energy and sure more difficult comparing swallow from head.

Here is a video I made 2 weeks ago... even can send moe into hiding..

Just want to ask snake xpert in here.

Sad news...

Sad, it happens due to human carelessness

Owner carelessness! Such thing always affect the pet industry in a way..

I can foresee ... there will be a local case in the near future.

Yep.. there are many senseless owner who got so excited buying baby python or anaconda without properly plan future....

I have a friend who bought burmese against my advice. He was total newbie. Finally, he is not a newbie anymore

And many say only WC animals strike and bite !! LOL CB do that too at times - lots of handling is the ony way to tame all reptiles BUT some remain a bit on the wild side !!

they are still snakes. if they are gentle.. dont tell me in the future all snakes eat mice chop or french toast? hahaha.

however, was a reali nice video. and can hear his wife laughing
