I have a bit of a question. My ball python is a bit of a pig when it comes to food. If I am lucky I can get his supper inside his enclosure before he strikes. I feed him a small rat ( about 10% of his mass) once every 7 days and he is 9 months old now. This week he was in deep blue, eyes and all. I figured he wouldn't take his rat and wasn't going to thaw one for him. When I was checking on things he was out 'hunting' blue and all. So I figured well we'll see. The little bugger took the rat he missed 3 times (he rarely misses) but got it in the end. I was a bit surprised that a snake so deep in shed would come out and feed, it was just a fluke that feeding day was when it was.

How many others have snakes that will feed shed no shed? How common is this, I really thought it was quite odd myself.
