Silly Rabbit!

In almost five years of keeping ball pythons, I've never had this happen before. I'm feeding the crew tonight, and I listen for the "thwump" that tells me they hit their rat and then I go back and check on everyone, make sure that everyone has everything under control. With 47 ball pythons to feed, it's open tub, drop rat, close tub, "thwump" and repeat until you get through all the snakes, then go back and check everyone.

I check on Echo - who always hits the hardest and the fastest and is pure muscle. I had heard her hit, and I checked her tub and the rat was sitting there cleaning himself while she's coiled tightly around her newspaper! :rofl:

After she made sure the newspaper was good and dead, she released it, only to wonder why there wasn't anything to eat. THEN she found the rat and took care of business. I guess you can say she was a little TOO eager to eat tonight!

lol
I've had mine do that too. It's like they say. "HEY WAIT JUST A MINUTE, THAT"S GONNA LEAVE A MARK"
Did he finally eat?

Yup - she ate her rat once she realized she killed the wrong thing - and got down to business and got him. In her defense, she's in deep blue. ;)

Her aimer was fuzzy :P

Makes you wonder if snakes have ego's the can hurt :D

Haha!

Maybe there was a story about a rat that got away printed on the newspaper that human eyes can't see and she had to kill that idea before she got down to business.

I hate when that happens.. LOL

:rofl: Oh my gosh that's too funny!

I hate when my Dumerils does that, and he wraps and holds for like an hour. I'm like whatever I will try again tomorrow >_<
