.2. For those using chicken necks and/or whatever you are using is there any risk of sharp bones doing damage to a snakes internals as it goes down and so should be trimmed. A comment was made "you don't trim Rats" but their bones are intact ie. no sharp points and covered by fur.
I believe there would be a risk, i avoid feeding large necks to my snakes for this reason. I also remove any obvious sharp bits sticking out. Snakes can definately hurt or kill themselves by eating harmful food items. I wouldnt be suprised if they could swallow large necks with sharp bones sticking out with no side effects, but i dont see any point in risking it. The comparison with whole prey isnt valid at all, most animals are designed so they can be comfortably swalloed head first when whole, cut them up with jagged bones sticking out and its a differant story.
3. Do you warm/prepare the feeds the same as feeding a frozen rodent?
For heat sensing pythons it may help to warm them to help encourage a feeding responce, however many snakes dont seem to care.
