Well I have a wonderful Pied female I call Pumkin (not to be confused with Justin Kobylka's Pumpkin Pied). I've had her since the San Diego Super Show in June 08. She has alway eaten pre killed off the floor of her enclosure. She hasn't eaten in the last to feeding, but also was going through a shed. Well Monday is feeding day I open her tub and i see she shed in 1 nice piece I check her eyes to make sure she shed her eye caps(I do this with every shed), and I put her normal pre killed small Rat in her tub and close it up. She normally would pick up the scent and go right for it, but the last 2 weeks she has not taken and then she didn't take on Mon the 9th. I wasn't getting to worried as she is hitting 700 grams and could be late on her 600 gram Plateau that people always talk about. Well this morning Liza was tired of the few extra Rats I had left and asked me to feed them off. So I thought I'd try a live rat so as to not waste it if she didn't eat. It wasn't in the tub for 5 seconds before she snapped and wrapped. It just surprised me because I had never seen her strike, she usually just came up and found the head and started eating lol. Just thought I would share this surprise with you all.
