    Constricted but wouldn't eat an ASF
    So I feed some ASFs to my older bp's tonight for the 1st time.

    All 3 struck and coiled within a few seconds.

    The 1st two didn't seem to have a problem and swallowed there rats down in a timely manner. The third constricted and killed the rat but never actually ate it. She just left it and continued to cruise her tub like she was hungry. I'm just kind of confused, as I've had her for a year and a half and she's never done this, and I've never had any other of my bps do this.

    The only difference between this feeding and all the others was that it was an ASF instead of a rat.

    Has anyone else experienced this?

    Any insight would be helpful.

    Were you watching over her, or opened her tank/tub right as she got done constricting? This has happened a few times to me, and those were the reasons why.

    I watched to make sure she had a good hold on the rat, then left her alone for about 20 min. When I checked on her she was curled up in the back of her tub and the rat was in the front.
