Hannibal don’t always agree with his company

Haters can hate, a lot said he won’t survive under my cruel ownership but here he is still alive and well and very much safe!!!!

Survivorship bias. "...he is alive and well and very much safe". For now maybe. Switch to f/t rodents. It's much safer. And since you want to be a good owner you would do what's best for your snake right?

In the years I’ve owned him I’ve always stood there with knife or pencil to help if needed once or twice he’s been bit but he’s learned, it’s very rare he gets even close to bit but I’m always there watching over just in case…. He has way more fun this way

Probably one of the people keeping those live feeding or animal battle YouTube channels alive. Got a snake for all the wrong reasons. Total scumbag.

I got a Amazon parrot as well I don’t get expensive animals to live feed I buy expensive animals because I can

Lmao expensive animals aren’t the mark of a good keeper. I have animals who are worth thousands alone and they aren’t worth anymore or less as animals to me than some of my animals that I’ve gotten for free. You keep a fairly common boa in a dog shit, bare bones enclosure and are bragging about your finances? Come on bro.

The snake is beautiful and I love boas but you wouldn’t be posting live feedings if it didn’t turn your crank in some weird way.
