Hi, registered along time ago on this forum but do not post much. I did think maybe helpful to do a post about what happened last night since a lot of folks have both BP and retics. Last night was poop night with both my male BP and SD tiger male both rammy and wanting to get out. To expedite things I put the BP in a chest of drawers cuz he likes to crawl around in there and let the SD loose in the room as the super active guy. After the BP got put back in his cage, I stepped out of the room, came back and the SD was now in the drawer where the BP had been. The normally very tame guy was kind of twitchy too and wedging himself in. In trying get him out he proceeded to bite and constrict a stocking and when I tried to get him out of the drawer and keep him from swallowing it he proceeded to coil my arm really tight.
So has anyone ever seen evidence of one python species predating on another? Cuz the only scents in that chest are clothing, me and Ball python; the only rodent in this house are in the freezer. The other thing was how incredibly strong a 5 lb SD is! He did not bite me thank God, but it took like a half hour to get him to let go. A cold shower had no effect. It felt like my pinky was going to be dislocated since his coils yanked my fingers apart. Today he is back to his normal curious interactive self.
