I went to feed my Blood a little while ago and he takes frozen/thawed no problem but on this occasion he showed the usual interest but he wouldn't take the rat.

For the most part my snake is all casual about eating. Sometimes you can just drop the rat right in front of him and he'll gobble it up. Rarely does he snatch and grab. The boy is all smooth about it.

Not this time though.

So I decided I'll heat the dam thing up one more time and try. Never give up I always say, and wouldn't ya know it...the very instant I put that rat back in front of him...WHAM!

That scarred the living hell out of me and it's the second time he's done that. He must do it on purpose, probably thinks he's funny to.

Jesus!
