could be a fluke but was curious given my last feeding - so this involves feeding my scrub and i did everything that i normally do mind you but tonight’s feeding was a little odd and had me thinking; do big constricting snakes intentionally drown prey? because usually our routine is v simple, i put the head of the mouse near the entrance of their den, they smack it, and pull it into their lair - this time however it really seemed like they made an intentional effort to extend themselves and push their head/the prey into the swimming pool i have set up for them - didn’t seem accidental at all because the way the enclosure is set up, they would have to make the effort to do this; would’ve been more natural to take the prey inside their den or atleast at the entrance of the den so I’m curious
note: i exclusively feed f/t prey - so there’s never a real need to “kill” the prey item
