first strike in a year!!!
LITERALLY just set the tongs down, YELLOW ACTUALLY STRUCK!!! im so shocked, im so happy yet full of questions LOL!
if you don't know: it's been a rough year and a half, almost 2 years, with Yellow's eating. inconsistent and, when he does eat, waits for me to leave the prey item in the enclosure to eat, and i HAVE to be out of sight.
BUT TONIGHT HE STRUCK!!! IT ACTUALLY STARTLED ME! i'm just so happy but still questioning his change in behavior. he's put on 200+ grams since ending his winter fast...maybe he's feeling fat and sassy??
all i know is HE ACTUALLY STRUCK. i'm ELATED. thank you for reading my happy ramblings.

Re: first strike in a year!!!
Nice way to go. I just had my mystic potion break a period of not eating he's still kinda inconsistent along with my pastel and trick girls. Right now only my banana boy isn't eating but just like with yours i'm sure he'll start up again soon and slam a rat.

My Tiger will strike, but he won't swallow unless I leave the room. I have no idea why, I guess he's just shy?

i had given in to the idea that Yellow was a shy feeder. i mean, a YEAR and a half of no strikes and only eating when i'm out of sight. i can't explain anything that might have changed other than ending his winter fast, but his change has been on my mind ever since. i wish i knew what changed with him, but i'm sure i'm not alone with my experience.
i hope my experience and Yellow's change in attitude will help anyone with a "shy feeder." it is possible for them to turn around!!!
