first feed for jnr herper

[wattso]

My youngest girl [7] fed monty a rat tonight for the first time! holding it with long tongs ,and boy ya shoulda seen that rat shake, [nerves i reckon, not intentional ] monty strikes and tears the rat from the tongs, moppet squeals and jumps 3 ft. lol she was so excited, ran around saying "I fed a snake, I fed a snake" , think shes hooked now, wish id got a pic. I'll let her feed him again next time and try to get one.

My brother wont let me anywhere near a snake with his babes. His oldest (8yrs) is facinated with a friends BHP that we are looking after, he keeps sneaking into the room to try and pick it up. This particular BHP is fully grown and very nasty. Have had to lock the doors.

LOL, poor kid, i "caught" a snake when i was about 5 or 6 and got a flogging with a belt for it. It was a red belly black coiled up under a rock, still "cold" early in the morning. sometimes my ass still hurts! :lol:

haha! Bet you didn't go picking up snakes and telling about it after that huh? The Brother is paranoid that his babes will somehow end up constricted by my stimpsons ?! But yeah I dont blame him for not wanting them to go near the BHP. It is really a nasty piece of work.
