Hi all,
I thought id post a few picks of me hand feeding one of my BHPs.
This is Millie, she is so placid and gentle, she just takes a rat right out of my fingers.
All 5 of my BHPs each have an album on my profile if you want to check them out.
I will also add an album of CassM's new little Darwin, (see her new thread)

mine does a similar thing, but i never feed with my hands. The other day she just reached out and took it so gently is was adorable! 
They are so different to other pythons when feeding IMO. My BHP has never struck, held on, and curled around his mouse like other pythons. He just sort of grabs at it most times, then i just kind of give up and let her collect it herself.

Great looking BHP ANdy. I have a coastal that eats like that, she takes her food really gently from me, I have a woma that is the opposite too, she explodes onto it and look out if she misses, she likes to hang on for while

If I continue down this path with her, Im sure she will be just the same at 8 foot long.
Im willing to give it a go, and just as willing to post pics if it goes wrong

In a feeding frenzy, they are a dangerous animal.
I guarantee you will only have 1 feeding bite from a decent size bhp to realize what a bad idea feeding them by hand is. 'Jacka$$' bravery will count for nothing - you will squeel like a pig. lol
Audio of the event will be a lot more amusing than a pic. lol
Cheers
