Good morning! Got a funny story for ya!

Dave brought snake food yesterday cause all my pythons had been screaming to eat. Anyway... last night they all began to stir. Slither around. Climb up the glass, so I knew they were awake and ready. I got the feeder tubs ready.

Dave thought he would start with LaDonna. He reached in to get her and...BAM!!! She bit him. Ouch. And a bit of blood. I kinda laughed a bit and reminded him he had to be patient and gentle and not scare the pythons.

Next, he grabbed Casper. All went perfectly. 2 snakes in feeder tubs, working on their meals

As Dave was tossing the food in for LaDonna and Casper, I talked to Monty Python, pet her and BAM! She bit me! Ouch! And a bit of blood.

So, knowing Zeus was hungry I let Dave get him. All went perfectly.

All 4 pythons were very happy

Moral of the story, if you own snakes, a bite is somewhere in your future. lol
