I would say they lack the nutrients of whole prey. Probably select meats no keratin from hair and no calcium from bone. I personally would stick to a very whole prey-diet. Nature had this stuff figured out long before we came along.
I love this seeing the progression of your rescue. Your enclosures are some of the most interesting and better/on par with the best zoos. Always showing you care for the animals first. Blessings to you both.
They're used at Snake Discovery and they sell them at their shop. I'm shocked when I see a snake eating them because they're not animal shaped. Also people need to get a grip it's nature snakes eat living animals in the wild and nature shows always film them eating. In captivity you can't feed a snake live animals due to possible harm to the snake and cruelty. It should always be fine to feed them frozen thawed animals that way they're getting the nutrition they need. I have no problem seeing a snake eating dead or live animals because I've grown up watching nature shows all my life and still do. I also follow channels like this one such as Snake Discovery and Fishing Garrett master yoinker some know him as lol and other Nick names too. I also a big fan of the late Brian Bartcheck I'll continue to follow his channel I hope the kids get more educational like Brian did. I also enjoy Clint's Reptiles too. You're doing a great job Chris love your channels and your property is beautiful.
Ball Pythons are a pita! My boy is currently turning his nose up at everything.. sigh... anyway, that Olive Python is stunning... what a beautiful snake, you could see the flashes of iridescence even in the enclosure light! ... then there is Ms. TikToc its nice to know she is doing so well
Loved Gabby’s comment about ball python’s climbing, and pointing out clearly they aren’t thriving in a drawer. You guys take such great care of your animals, I have so much respect for what you do!! 🐊🦨🐕🦜🦝🐷🦊 🐍 🐐
Olive is such a beautiful snake! Seeing you film her, and how the light shines and brings out the scales on her is just radiant. I love it. : ) Great to get an update about the reptiles. I was curious about them
It's good enrichment to wiggle the food when they lock on so they think it's a live animal and wrap it up tight like they would in the wild.. Sweet cages also
I've been considering ordering reptilinks for my Olive Python but the minimum order quantity is a bit high for my needs. She's the only snake I have and she's currently only about 50 inches so I'd have to order almost a years worth of food. Might try splitting the order with one or two other people. Glad to see your Olive approved.
I’ve heard hognoses are also picky eaters, but they’re toad eaters in the wild. So if you have one that’s picky you might also need a toad to scent the rodent with haha Reptilinks also have different…flavor juices? To scent rodents with. Seems like overall a great company with a wide variety of options.
I had a Burmese Python and Reticulated Python that would only eat live rats. The Retic was a master at head shots and quick kills. The Burmese got DESTROYED by a larger rat when she was almost 2 and +8'. It was a blood bath, and I was on the rat in a few seconds. After that, I went to dead rabbits, and she hit them as I was putting them in the tank. Wish I had known sooner!
YOU HAVE A CUBAN Boa! Those are so hard to come by. I looked for one for about a year and couldn’t find anyone actively breeding them in the US. A little jealous.
I have a couple ball pythons that will take the reptilinks but in general they just don't trigger a feeding response in most. My boas love them, but they constrict them so hard they occasionally pop (gross). My malagasy giant hogs eat them with gusto.
I know it's a little off topic, but feel free to show some of your weather, nature comes in many forms :) Also the rat food thing, not sure why SM would have a problem with frozen food, it's actually behaviour that should be encouraged, live prey is cruel and could harm the animal. But i do like the idea of the sausages, you could probably get a lot more nutrients in it.
@babalonkie He's got a number of videos showing rain and storms and the weather conditions during a tropical depression once. It doesn't really snow here in Florida but we do get frosts and freezes maybe two to three times each winter. Weather always varies here.
Great video. Your temporary reptile room looks better the some permanent rooms iv seen. Reptilinks are cool. My hognose snakes loved them but my gopher and boa constrictor could not have been less interested in them. Haha
This was neat to see! We don't see the snakes too often! Love that alternative to rats🤢🤣 It's interesting(or annoying, more accurately😂) what gets flagged for you guys though, when many others seem to show feeding rats every video🤔🤷♀️
I have my 3 year old lavender albino ball python in a 2x2x4 foot enclosure with 2 branches running the length of the enclosure about 6 inches apart at slightly different levels and she loves to climb them every night. However she also falls off of them several times every night. But at least it’s not very far down only about 12- 16 inches.
kinda weird that even a king cobra would care more about the smell of the prey rather than how it looks. because king cobra's are so visually oriented. and ball pythons do commonly chill in trees in some area's in africa during the raining season.
my bearded dragon loves reptilinks. he was a super slow eater or would go on hunger strikes for whatever reason. vet came to the conclusion he was a diva. once i switched to these that little dude noms them no problem. i think he wasnt getting the proper nutrients with his picky eating.
Olive is absolutely gorgeous , all of your snakes are awesome but olive takes the cake lol . Never tried the reptilinks but I will definitely give them a go
Thats awesome. I love snakes. We dont have them in my country so therefore are obviously not allowed to own them. I also love rats and mice so even if we could have them I am one of those who wouldn't because of their diet. Love your content guys. Amazing thing you are doing for these animals.
I have a BCI , she is 8’ and still growing . Will ONLY eat frozen thawed rats and will never eat in my presence. I WISH I could get her to something like sausages but I seriously doubt she would eat one.
I see ur Video of the python with the ticktok problem.3 years ago i think. I love your videos. But im so afraid of snakes😂. No sirously. I live in a house with my wife since 3 years in i call it "wilderness" so there is an optimum for snakes. We ha have Ringelnattern i dont know the english word. An Askulap Nattern. Our biggest Askulap is 1.80 m we are happy about, because they are eat the Mouse and rats about in and out our house. But thise is the point! As i see one Ringelnatter in one of our room im so afraid geting sleep. I know thats nothing afraid of. Ringelbattern are very shi. Can you tell me, how get my fear away about snakes?
What you have as a temporary house is far, far better than many animals experience. It’s a very nice setup. I hope you don’t feel like you have to go into such detail because you’ve been so badly trolled. As far as feeding snakes in captivity, I don’t have problem with them or any animal hunting and eating live prey in the wild. I see no reason, provided they receive the nutrition they require, to do it in captivity. I’ve seen video of animals with severe infections from prey trying to defend themselves. And the prey hasn’t got a chance…in the wild most hunting attempts are unsuccessful. I don’t have a problem with feeding dead prey at all. The prey doesn’t suffer and the predator has no risk of injury. I believe where possible we should try to reduce suffering not increase it. I also have concerns about the at which age children should watch such videos and that there should be some discussion around why it happens in the wild, the ethics of keeping animals in captivity, how they should be kept, etc., what it would mean if humans did this, etc. I had those kind of discussions with my father and later with my own sons. I’ve seen and heard some very disturbing responses from kids and teens who saw this kind of material without any context.
We over feed all our pets…and don’t do the research needed to give them what they need. My Bassett would eat himself into oblivion if we let him. He would become obese and become at risk of a ruptured disc in his spine while jumping down from furniture, which would require euthanasia. If I remember correctly an obese dog’s life is shortened by at least 2 years.
interesting. that is why Tracie won't let me get a snake or reptile that eats frozen thawed critters. she likes the reptiles but not the frozen thawed critters lol
That must be so strange for them. Well it sure smells like food but it looks like nothing I’ve ever eaten before 😂😂 So you can show someone eating a beef burger. But an animal eating an animal isn’t acceptable. Go figure!
People are so sensitive they love flagging like a fool! People ar3 haters and jealous, you guys rescue so many animals from people who get these animals and cannot take care of them or afford them . That can mess up the lil bit of money your trying to make to support the animals. Dam shame❤❤
Животные
My Columbian Tegu loves those ReptiLinks
These reptilinks are brilliant! I love snakes but never adopted one because I also love rats. You’ve totally got me rethinking snake adoption again.
I would say they lack the nutrients of whole prey. Probably select meats no keratin from hair and no calcium from bone. I personally would stick to a very whole prey-diet. Nature had this stuff figured out long before we came along.
Lol....the dog chilling on the wood. Good stuff.
Love seeing the snakes, Olive is gorgeous!💚

This room looks great 🤙 Olive is a beautiful one. Cool video thanks
Beautiful enclosures , I'm glad you don't keep them in racks
You guys are way ahead of so many in the game. Thank you ♥️❣️♥️❣️♥️❣️♥️❣️
WOW things are coming along great guys! I am so happy for y'all 🐍🐍🐍
I love the idea of reptile-links. 🤩👏🏻👍🏽
An idea to get rid of rat water is to thaw it in a plastic bag so it stays dry
I have two Western Hognose that love reptilinks.
Haha that’s awesome ! Well you can get $5 off next time 😂
I really enjoyed this live. So cool seeing the snakey poos eating the sausage. Have an awesome week you 2
I can't wait to get some of these for our reptiles!
I love videos of your snakes.

They can be, but there are also BPs that eat like black holes; my two are absolutely food motivated!
Thanks for all the updates! Looking forward to seeing more of the new 🦊 too!
Reptilinks are awesome! They have so many varieties for reptiles with specific dietary needs, like those who eat lizards and frogs
Your Reptile room is a beautiful setup, how many different reptiles do you care for? Thanks again for your videos, they're very informative
Loved Gabby’s comment about ball python’s climbing, and pointing out clearly they aren’t thriving in a drawer. You guys take such great care of your animals, I have so much respect for what you do!! 🐊🦨🐕🦜🦝🐷🦊 🐍 🐐
I remember that storm. It was intense! Enjoyed seeing the snakes from a nice, safe distance.
Olive is such a beautiful snake! Seeing you film her, and how the light shines and brings out the scales on her is just radiant. I love it. : )
Great to get an update about the reptiles. I was curious about them
Olive is my favourite because shes from the same country I'm from plus shes very cute 😂
Love the daily updates! Thanks guys!
Hey guy's, it's the first time I have actually watched a snake feeding. That says a lot right there. Love your videos. Thanks from Ontario.

It actually ends up saving you money in the long run too!
there is somehting satisfying about watching them eat sausages
Yay!! I've been waiting for a snake vid!! Thanks guys!
I’ve heard hognoses are also picky eaters, but they’re toad eaters in the wild. So if you have one that’s picky you might also need a toad to scent the rodent with haha

Thank you for sharing your disgusting story about animal abuse
That’s gross 🤮
@natas2350 Some snakes will not touch anything but live.
@@natas2350get a life. Your mom called and wants her basement back.
@natas2350 Let me guess, you're a vegan, aren't you?
Love your intro so adorable, your new home and land is so awesome ! You guys are really creating a great little animal village! I love it❤❤❤❤❤❤

Olive is absolutely gorgeous , all of your snakes are awesome but olive takes the cake lol . Never tried the reptilinks but I will definitely give them a go
Would the snakes be more interested if you took a magic marker and put two fake eyes on it? Would that fool them into thinking they saw the head?
Pretty cool
Awwww Tik tok I remember when u brought him home with crazy tics all over him
Thats awesome. I love snakes. We dont have them in my country so therefore are obviously not allowed to own them. I also love rats and mice so even if we could have them I am one of those who wouldn't because of their diet.
Love your content guys. Amazing thing you are doing for these animals.
Nice!
❤
It would be interesting to see if she develops a preference for the sausage over live food
How many of those sausages did you fry up for breakfast? 😁
I have a BCI , she is 8’ and still growing . Will ONLY eat frozen thawed rats and will never eat in my presence. I WISH I could get her to something like sausages but I seriously doubt she would eat one.
I feed my tegu fruit and veggies and Qual reptilinks because he wouldn't eat any vegetables I gave him!
Nice intro ❤
its so weird that you guys have very similar weather to freaking western europe the last month.
May I have Olive
because sausages are goated
WHY ARE THOSE SNAKEES EATING SAUSAGES!!!??
I GOOTA KNOW
How often do snakes eat?

Wrapper?
Snakes eat things that don't move?
What are red foots please send me a picture❤❤❤❤❤❤
nice job 👍hi tik tok 🐍
We over feed all our pets…and don’t do the research needed to give them what they need. My Bassett would eat himself into oblivion if we let him.

interesting. that is why Tracie won't let me get a snake or reptile that eats frozen thawed critters. she likes the reptiles but not the frozen thawed critters lol
That must be so strange for them. Well it sure smells like food but it looks like nothing I’ve ever eaten before 😂😂
So you can show someone eating a beef burger. But an animal eating an animal isn’t acceptable. Go figure!
I’m lucky to have a ball python who eats like a fuckin hog lmao, I only feed him twice a month or so but he never misses a feeding.
Flinging rat tail water 😅
People are so sensitive they love flagging like a fool! People ar3 haters and jealous, you guys rescue so many animals from people who get these animals and cannot take care of them or afford them . That can mess up the lil bit of money your trying to make to support the animals. Dam shame❤❤
Hi I watch your movies I like your alligator your snakes sorry to interrupt you happy Valentine's
ugh. still no gabby on camera. as cute as he is. i come here for you! thumbs down
I’ll be on the next one!
