I missed Sophie and Howl (used to be Slytherin, kids decided he didn't like it) feeding yesterday, so I thawed on their tubs today and hit the bait with the blow dryer. I opened Sophie's tub and she crawled onto my belt really quickly, so I passed her to my dh and moved on. (She seems to like people.)
My 5yo was at my elbow and I opened Howl's tub. (He is usually the difficult one to feed.) He jumps out of the tub, grabs the mouse, and does a backbend sort of thing back into his tub and constricts. :O My 5yo says," WHOA!" She had some serious front row seats!
Snakes are awesome!
