my red tails retarded. lol.

Well thats my thought. Everytime i feed her she takes the prey constricts then when its dead she keeps her mid body constricted around it and starts trying to roam around(looks like shes looking for it ) Its like when you are looking for your keys or something and they are right in front of you or worse yet they are in your hand. lol. I still cant get over how tiny she is. she like a month and a half and a mouse fuzzy looks ginormous. lol.

Now shes a vampire

My fuzzy was smaller then that :( lol

She's checking the area to make sure it's safe to settle in and eat. Swallowing a mouthful of whole prey makes any snake, but especially a baby one, very vulnerable to attack. They can't easily flee or fight back if something came at them during this time so they'll have a look around first. All three boas we've had from a little one to one over 6 feet did basically the same thing to some degree or other.

so, i'm not real PC myself, but i'd appreciate it if in the future you wouldn't use the word 'retarded' in a public place unless actually talking about someone who is mentally challenged. i don't wanna come off as a :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: but my uncle had retardation and he's probably the best person i've ever known.

uhh......im pretty sure she didnt mean to offend your uncle (or anyone else)

shes talking about a snake.....a snake with a very small brain.

Also....why is it not okay for her to say her snake is retarded (which he isnt) but if she were to actually be talking about someone who is in fact mentally challenged it would be perfectly fine ??

hmmmm...

lol. I did that a couple times with my keys...I thought it was just me and a couple other weird people in this world.

Thats an awesome snake!

you and me both! Same thing with my cell phone.. the mail.. my shoes.. glasses.. and I am only 27.

My BCI does this also. I noticed it when I had people over who wanted to watch him eat, and someone moved and distracted him between striking/coiling and eating. He responded to the motion as a snake would in the wild that had been disturbed by a predator while eating. I kindly yelled at my friend and covered the boa cage up with a blanket, and eventually he settled down and ate his rat. :)
Kindly yelled.. lol.. it has been a long day.

one time i spent 15 mins looking for my buckeyes hat.... all while it was on my head.
