Yes, I get so puzzled sometimes. Very well could be shed coming, I haven't seen it yet but she is probably due for one.

Watch & see, maybe in a week she'll cloud up if that's it? Some of mine will eat in shed, others don't.

.. I was dangling a thawed mouse in front of a King snake ( who have crazy feeding responses as you probably know ) and it lunged forward and grabbed it’s stainless steel water bowl and was swinging it around it’s head !!


Here’s the culprit..

They can be deceptive :)
My scariest snake ever was about 15” long :)

A stunning Bamboo Rat snake .

This little swine bit me nearly every time I changed his water or moved him to do a viv clean .

He had the sharpest little razor teeth that used to really hurt .. LoL

I was literally a nervous wreck when I was sliding his glass door open ... he had loads of bark pieces as hides and I never knew where he was gonna come from ..

At feeding time I opened the glass carefully then FLUNG the mouse in and slammed the door closed again :)

Here he is ..

I have to admit that at times, I've been guilty of "eating in front of my snakes" but never have any of them tried to take my food! :O That's truly hilarious.

Sooooo years ago we ( me my son and his girlfriend ) had three young albino garter snakes ( sisters ) out of their viv on the carpet ..

They were small , friendly and gorgeous.

Anyways in a blink of an eye one of them went to our dog’s food dish and grabbed a chunk of dog food that was about four times the size of it’s head ... and proceeded to eat it slowly

:rofl: I hope the dog wasn't around? If that was MY dogs food bowls- they'd not take it "lying down"- they'd be freaked out, lol.
