So I fed Loki last night, he is past due to move up to the next size rat, so I have been feeding him two (15% weight) until I run out. Normally when I offer it to him he comes over, tongue flicking and will bump his nose into it a few times before strike. It usually takes about ten seconds. He took the first rat immediately and when I offered the second when he seemed even more interested. S shape, tongue flicking, bumping it with his snout and then... he went past the rat and started up the tongs toward my hand. I figured I had the scent on me and was probably warmer than the rat so I put it under the hair dryer and offered again. Same thing. I left it in his cage and he showed interest, but then did something really odd. He arched his head/neck over the rat and held the position, making sure not to touch it, puting his head down on the other side. He did this a few times and then put his head down on the rat like it was a pillow and just sat there 15 minutes later he ate it, without constricting. I know he is used to being fed, but he would make a horrible predator in the wild...

tl;dr: fed my snake, he decided to sit there and arch his body over the rat without touching it and then used it as a pillow.
