We've yet to see Medusa strike as fast as she did tonight.
We feed her F/T and usually just drop it in the cage. The first few feedings
she ate well- struck, ate, all routine. Then the next 3-4 feedings, she did this "hover" thing, until all was dark and she would eat at night.

But the last 3 feedings, she has struck and ate with us watching again (ironically, we have moved her feedings closer- up to 5 days apart, so you would think she wouldn't be as hungry) She also Shed during that time, so it could be why she was acting different.

Tonight, my daughter dropped the mouse in front of Medusa and I swear she snatched that little bugger mid-air. We all just gasped & looked at each other in shock. (BTW, my daughters hands were no where near the snake, she drops it in from above

I had Medusa out earlier today, when my mom was visiting. Who is afraid of snakes, but shocked how much shes really enjoying Medusa. But she always says "Aren't you afraid she's going to bite???" and I try to explain about snake behavior- how she's acting in my hands, not showing any signs of stress or aggression. Certainly, not going to randomly chew on my thumb just for fun" LOL

Anyway, after watching her strike that mouse this evening, I must say that I feel a little like all those people who question "Cage Aggression" and feeding in their tank. NOT really! I have no intention on changing how we feed her. but does make you think a little when you see them move so fast.
