For goodness sakes, it's one thing if you admit that being new and not knowing what you were doing, and it was a mistake...."I'll learn and do it correctly and safely the next time sort of thing (though there really shouldn't be a next time) but to deny all wrongdoing....do you really want some other real newbie learning form what YOU did thinking that's how it's supposed to be done??

"Still insisting??"
Whew. Ok...there are several opinions on this. Some insist that the snake was handled roughly and abused. There is nothing that I can do about that. It is a matter of opinion because IMO, there is NO simple way to make a snake take what it doesn't want, there will be a struggle. Of course if the video of everything going right was shown then perhaps the verdict would be different, perhaps?
btw: I did have the tubes..they don't hold those little tiny babies still.
As my Vet did it, the direct entry..straightest entry to the stomach is straight. He used a rubber tube. I was afraid to use a rubber tube (I might have punctured something...the tubes where rounded, smooth and long enough to go over the air pipe to the throat and down into the stomach. When the snake twisted, he blocked the point of entry and if I had not pushed the food back down it might have clogged his air tube and more than likely killed him..those vids do not show exactly how small those hatchlings were and I am going by my OWN experience. (Usually, I had someone helping (had visitors living with me at the time). Unfortunately THIS time, it was just me alone doing everything. (my friends hands were busy and I didn't think to ask for help until things went wrong with the SECOND video. In this second video, which is posted, the feeding went wrong, I do not see how that means that I did it wrong.
But for the sake of peace...you can all beat me with a wet noodle and I will say I am GUILTY of poor judgement. I will NEVER let another living soul video anything I do.
At least, I was doing it the RIGHT way, even though it wasn't the best video. The first video feeding went down without a hitch. This one twin twisted at the last minute.
