Ive personally always tried to get every one of my corns to constrict habitually when it comes to feeding. All the corns I have had since hathlings violently constrict every single meal, even now with little work from my end. It seems every corn I pick up at a year or older has no interest at all in constricting, and just looks at me like an idiot til I drop its food so it can easily swallow it whole.
Its not hard to get a baby snake a little angry at its meal, without putting fear in its eyes. I am not backed up by any scientific or experimentational evidence to conclude this, but it is in my best opinion that constricting is, in fact, the best if not the only physical work out our captive snakes get. Sure we hold them and play with them and let them climb, but have you felt the power that comes from them constricting? Its almost exponentially stronger than the "I might fall off of your arm" grip.
Basically, does anyone else feel this same way? I guess its hard to tell if your snake is getting any benefit from this, but has anyone noted any positive results from constantly constricting its prey? Does anyone else do this or am I the only crazy one?? :crazy02:
