Would you look at that sweet noodle :) So pretty!!

Looks as happy as can be :)

last night was such a weird feeding for EVERYONE (Pumpkin, Spaghetti and Yellow). i took a video of Coffee Bean striking but at the very last second she aimed at the side and bites on the lil grips at the end of the forceps. i was trying to gently get the forceps free but you can hear her teeth grating on the metal grips and it's a HORRIBLE sound. she just would not let go so i had to gently wiggle them free.

you can hear the metal against her teeth as soon as she pounds the rat pup and while i'm trying to get the forceps frew. i warn you, it's not a pleasant sound:


then after her "kill" she uncoiled and wandered towards me from inside her tub. i'm like ...oookay and i carefully grabbed the rat pup, reheated, and re-offered. she refused to strike; she'd stick her face aaaaall over that feeder and sniff every hair, but never struck. she kept tracking the feeder so i kept dangling, but eventually she like, raised up so high she got above the tongs. she ended up coming down right on top of the feeder and when i wiggled it beneath her BAM! strike.

all the clicking and grating...that her wittle teefs :(

Still a good feed. I try not to hold my feeders right at the head/neck area any more, just in case they do decide to turn at the last moment. Eros, my Mojave, done it once and he coiled my 18" tweezers(luckily they have the rubber coating), had to let him do his thing before I could retrieve them. I now hold them all middle of the back, least amount of grip I can, that way when they strike the hit usually knocks the feeder out the tweezers.

she did this once as a baby, grabbing the tongs. i think she might like to strike at the side of the head. guess i gotta be careful now. when i was heating the feeder before filming she was almost half out of her tub!
