Hi,
Well tonight I made a stupid feeding error (SFE).:oops:
One of my females refuses to eat in her tank so has to be moved to a spare. When she's in there she knows exactly what's coming and, being a sweet little piglet, gets herself all worked up waiting.
Well tonight I had company while I was feeding so was slightly distracted and opened the feeding tank (glass sliding front doors at about eye height - yes I know :colbert: ) raised the rat (F/T) towards her but then my friend said something so I turned round to answer forgetting about the snake - who shot out trying to get this amazing flying rat and managed to get the underside of my forearm instead.
Luckily she must have realised she missed because there was no attempt to clamp down or constrict. Instead she hung there half out of the tank, turned and struck the lighting starter unit for the tank below (heat signature I assume), then ignored the stunned looking pink thing, grabbed the rat out of my hand and retreated into the tank to eat it.
Naturally the first thing I did was ignore the muffled laughter of my friend and pick up the digital camera.

Luckily she doesn't seem to have lost any teeth so the only injury is to my pride.
