We do not post videos of our snakes eating here, but we have a good reason! Even with content warnings, people who do not wish to see this often come across it unexpectedly. This can turn people off towards snakes who may have otherwise been more open minded.
Snakes, like other carnivores, need to eat meat. However, since they require whole prey (meaning they need the meat, organs, bones, and more!) Their food still looks like the animal they are eating, and this can be harder to watch for some people. Our snakes at Beyond the Bug eat frozen/thawed rats, mice, chicks, quail, and rabbits. For now, you will not see posts of our snakes eating. Perhaps it is something we will revisit when we launch our YouTube channel and post longer-form content! Is that something you would like to see?
Want to meet our snakes and other animal friends? Beyond the Bug offers many educational programs for all ages! We visit schools, libraries, birthday parties, scout programs, and more to spread our mission of building empathy and compassion for misunderstood animals. Please visit www.beyondthebug.com to learn more about how we can make your next program a WILD one!
