I feel bad!

Well I took her out and she was pissed and hissed at me. Lol. Weighed her and she is at 440g. Put her back in and she took a rat pup laxidazical. Just went in to give her the other and she took it so fast she ripped it off the tongs and scared the crap out of me lol. Next week she moves up to small rats. And the rat will magically appear for her again without tongs while she is out.

Awh, poor little beep! She sounds like a good eater though!

I'm sure she's alright! But do keep your eye on her, if she starts acting funny or if her snoot starts to look off or injured take her to the vet. I really think she's fine though!

I recently watched a documentary discussing snake evolution, and how their skulls are adapted for extreme G-force since they strike with such ridiculous acceleration that their brains get banged around!

Snakes are evolved to whip their heads into targets without sustaining injury, so though I wouldn't want my snakes to bash their heads into screens or glass walls regularly, once in awhile won't do much harm.

Mind if I ask what documentary?? I LOVE animal documentaries and have ever since I was a little kid. Thanks for the new info also! I didn't actually know that
