Question about feeding

[acovert]

I hate cutting the worms, personally. But when my mom and I used to fish, I had to bait the hooks with any worms we use - she won't touch them. But the wiggling and any juices that come out when I cut them does bother me.

As for the people I got my snake from...I had them try fish at some point. Since I'm not there I have no idea what fish they tried, but apparently the babies really liked them. Still, after they started on the fish, one died. The other 5 aren't doing so well. I don't think she'll have much time to join the site (she has a very busy schedule) but I can probably direct her to some care sheets via Facebook. She's my mom's friend, so I don't know her quite so well and don't talk to her too often. But her husband helps with my computer problems and I have to go over there as soon as I get home to fix my computer. I'll see what's going on with the babies then.

As for my snake (his/her name is Cuddles), he didn't touch the earthworms after all. I am going to remove the dead pieces and put in some new ones to keep trying. I still have 17 or 18 of them left, and I can easily go buy more at Walmart.

I must say, it was really interesting last night when I ran a tutoring session (I'm a writing tutor at this school) and the girl who came to my room saw me cutting up nightcrawlers.

I use the lid from a chip dip tub, cut the worm right on the lid, add a little water, and feed from the lid.

** I specifically use chip dip lids because they are white! They are not to be confused with my butter tub lids which are yellow and are used for packaging leftovers!
