Hi everyone:
Just thought I'd post about one of my male black bloods. He has the sweetest temperament, and loves interaction most of the time.
He is the only snake I own (balls and bloods) that has never struck at food when offered. The only way he will eat is if you place the F/T rat at the entrance of his hide. After a few seconds, his head will poke out, he will sniff the rat from head to toe, then gently and slowly grab the rat by the head and drag the rat into his hide to eat.
My other snakes all strike/coil, he is the only one who takes it easy and calm lol. Nothing wrong with that, just think its funny/cute how gentle he is. He has always been like this from the day I got him as a baby
