"Please.....just answer the friggin question!!!"

okay so here's how you do it:

Put the snake on the floor and then sit on the floor about twelve feet away from the snake. Make sure nothing is obstructing the path from you to the snake.

Take a thong (something stretchy with spandex and elastic works best) and set up and sling-thong with some wooden dowels and what-have-you.

Put a pk rat in the little front part of the thong, adjust the angle and thong tension, and let go. If you're good, the rat should fly in the general direction the snake and the snake should catch the rat in the air.

oh yeah

Well I finally last month got my borneo feeding FT's she normally stikes coils and then leaves it, I have to pick it up a second time and she almost always takes it down. She had never bit or even struck at me until two weeks ago well I simply picked up the FT that she droped and attempted to feed her out of my fingers (just being lazy) and she latched onto my thumb. Now she has the taste of human blood and appently loves it as she has now tagged me twice since.....

Sorry no pics of her uploaded to KS yet...

Hey,
That's why I always say "Tongs", not "Thumbs"! LOL!
