I appreciate your opinion...however I did not FORCE-FEED my snake. I said that I simply opened her mouth and laid the pinky in the back of her mouth. After I laid the pinkie in ther mouth I let go of the pinky, if the snake did not want to consume she could have easily spit it out.(is that considered force feeding?) I don't think so.I believe that is called assist feeding (check it out it's on KS home page under feeding and its free) As far my setup I have her in a rack system, temps 90 on hot end 76 on coole end. I use hides and provide Fresh water on a bi-daily basis. I clean there cages once per week. Here's the bottom line she was on the verge of potentially loosing her life if I didn't get food in her. In this situation would it be better to stress the snake out or keep her alive, I don't know I guess I had to ask myself that question.
