I know this was up the other day, but I wanted to discuss the way the animal was handled :shock:, immediately after the feed :!: .
Here's the link:- http://media.smh.com.au/?rid=17270&...au/&t=79LM1J&ie=1&player=wm7&rate=401&flash=1
I've read & been told on good authority, that you should
NEVER HANDLE A SNAKE AFTER FEEDING :!: :!: :!:
Especially after a big feed and that was a huge feed! :shock:
Doing so, can and does Kill the specimen!
There's a tragic case where this happened to a pet Carpet Python,
that had been a family pet for 10 years or so.
It'd been handled immediately after a feed to show-off to family friends and it DIED SHORTLY AFTERWARDS! :cry:
I don't know who's handling the snake but he's (an idiot) dangling it,
totally unsupported almost by the tail :!: :roll: .
Notice how the snakes tail is writhing in pain and/or annoyance! :cry:
This is a real NO-NO!.
The handler in this report may claim ignorance, but it's just COMMON SENSE not to do this! :roll: .
Kiddies DON'T try this at home!
Sorry to be so intolerant everyone, but this just shouldn't be done, especially on national television!
I just wanted to get this message out there.

P.S - I hope the snake is O.K! :cry:
