One time long ago I was feeding my bp a small gerbil (live) and the gerbil just happen to run directly into her hide. While she was caught off guard and pinned the gerbil to the side of the hide until it was dead and then she found it's head and swallowed it. I had never seen that before. :O

Lol. A snakes version of fighting a mouse with their "hands behind their back"...

looking at her face in this picture makes me laugh, because she looks all calm and nonchalant:rolleye2:

Lol my corn snake won't strike or cool, she just opens her mouth and grabs it

and quite the opposite look on the rat's face :O

Yeah my adult Normal will get her timing off every now and then and just coil also.

My adult female gets lazy sometimes I think? But she wont strike, but instead use her body size and weight to pin the rat against the side until dead or sometimes pin then coil. Too much energy for her to strike I guess... lol

Yeah those are the best no bite strike
