magnificent specimen and well done with hand feeding. especially since i know they can be a bit shy with feeding. its a real blast to be able to say you hand fed a snake;

a) without it being a force feed
b) without it taking a hit at you because you are warm and moving and it smells food.
c) especially if you are hand feeding something that it usually a bit shy and reclusive.

a couple of old ones, feeding while hanging of the peak of a cap, then moved to a bucket to finish, and a new one i got last night

Cheers Syeph8
Haha thats classic tiger. I remember your story about that.

 

[syeph8]

peak of a cap... ballsy. wouldnt want to sneeze after you pull out the rat.

nah he climbed up on a mates head in a different room to where i was warming the rats, and i had to walk past to get to the rest of my snakes as i was going to feed my hatchie, and he launched off his head and pinched the pinky out of my hand, it was totally un-expected (and a noob mistake) as he hadnt fed for the 4 previous weeks, and it was his first feed wth us! Dont think i'll be trying it again, thats why as soon as he had settled with the pinky i moved him to the bucket to finish it off

cheers Slats it was classic, scared the ******* out of my mates, and proved to my mates how quick a snake can be when they want!

 

[Slats]

Looking forward to them Vince.
Cheers

you can either take that as sage advice or as a challenge, that is up to your interpretation.
