Stupid Feeding Error - now with added blood

Hi,

I got careless again. :oops:

I went to offer Cleo a small rat and was annoyed to see that, despite me going at it like a good 'un with the hairdrier not 3 feet from her tub, she had not deigned to show herself out from under the newspaper.

So, rat dangling by the tail from one hand, I proceeded to try and lift the newspaper to find her head (despite my best efforts she seems unwilling to strike with her bum end :P ).

I lift one side..... nope no snake at all that side.

And so, braincells akimbo, I get the rat ready to dangle and reach out with my other hand to tweak the newspaper aside to let her ladyship see the rat. :slamhead:

Instant SFE. :oops:

She seemed a mite surprised ( possibly at the language ) but recovered well and got the rat I hastily waved in her direction.

I am proud to say she then heroically ignored my manly blubbering and wolfed down the rat like a pro. :rat:

WOW!! she got you good.. LOL I hate feeding responce bites..they are out for blood to start with..

Nothing wrong with a little whimpering afterwards..You should hear me lose my relegion when I get bit..

Heh heh,

When I saw the flash of accelerating snake head I just hoped she realised my mistake and didn't do the whole coil and grind the jaws in trick I got the last time - she's a big lass and that would have hurt. :taz:

I like my carpet, she knows when it's feeding time and comes hunting, I never have to hunt for her and stick my hands anywhere near the danger zone.

Danger, Danger, Danger! lol.

good pics :gj:

Gotta love when they remind you they still have teeth at feeding time... good times, good times :rolleyes:

If you have any manual dexterity, and since you're single I'm assuming you are quite dexterous with at least one hand, chopsticks can be fun as well as finger protecting.
