I Done A Duuuumb Thing...

[DeadLegs]

So feeding the kids today, I made the most ridiculous move ever. I fed Casper his mouse, of which I'll be posting a video later, and he powered it down like he was a starving neglected little boy, which he is absolutely the opposite. Then I went to pull Alana out to feed her and, immediately I knew I made her mad. The body language said it right away.

So I'm getting her out and she loosened up and I thought everything was cool. I switched hands that I was holding her with and no sooner I do that and BOOM, she's latched onto my thumb squeezing it to death.

Notice that no where in here did I mention that I had washed the hand with which I had been handling the mice.

I couldn't help but laugh. sadly I didn't manage to find my camera in time before she realized "wait...this doesn't taste like a mouse!"

Lol... I don't dare put my hands near my most aggressive feeder. He follows them like they're the rat, and whatever I just dropped in his cage is just decoration!

He just said their weight, 3500g.

This can easily be avoided by feeding in the home enclosure

Either way, that's what you get for moving the snake after feeding other snakes and having scent all around the room.

You get bitten far less when you feed in the cage.

We all have done dumb things that we know we shouldn't do but at the time you just don't think about it until you get a reminder! When you have kids, it can get crazy and things happen!
