    Zombie Rat Dance?
    Can someone post a video of their (successful) zombie rat dance? I want to see how my skills compare. I don't think I'm a very good rat dancer as it doesn't seem to make a difference in my success. Thanks in advance. :)

    For some, it makes them constrict harder if you play a little tug-o-war with the rat.

    I'm not sure this fools them into thinking the rat is alive, but for some it seems to help get them in feeding mode vs. defensive kill mode.

    I always wondered about this too. It doesnt seem to make a difference at the current moment for my f/t eaters whether I jiggle the rat or not. I have yet to encounter a snake who will ONLY eat if you jiggle it or do a zombie dance, but Im sure theyre out there, somewhere :P

    Yea, I pulled on the tail just to make the BP think the rat was struggling. I don't have to do it any more though. I got those hemostats at Repticon here in Columbia, SC. They were only like $5
