Interesting feeding day

So while I normally record my feeding days, this one was interesting. I won't spill any details, but you have to watch the video.

Nothing like the smell of rat in the air to get those little noses poking out of their hides, and sometimes all the way out of the tub :rofl:

Yea, the mahogany scared the crap out of me. Since I got him he's been a shy feeder.

Turn the phone 90 degrees side ways.
No one I know uses monitors or tv's set up in a higher than wider aspect ratio. Not even the Europeans with their PAL vs NTSC.
It will make for a much more watchable video.

There is a reason I don't do that. The sensor or whatever that rotates the phone when it's recognized as being side ways is broke on my phone. I've got the parts coming to fix it but it's not a major issue.

What a fun video! That strike startled me--I can't imagine how it must have startled YOU.

Well, that is double cool. In a throw away society anyway, repairing equipment is becoming a lost art.
I wish I had thought to record my female YB's feed response. She is on par with your more aggressive feeders, launching right out of the enclosure before prey is even presented.
And no, she isn't being underfed (prey about 20% of her body weight is just slightly smaller than her own girth so is what is currently being fed still every 7 days @ just over 900 grams).

My female spinner is like that - she will practically chase me out of the room.

Yea, but see for me it's still worth it but only because of the situation I'm in.

I'm with Verizon wireless and I'm grandfathered in with unlimited data. So if I want to get a cheap upgrade for a new two year plan they force you to change plans which requires me to get rid of unlimited data and go to a share everything plan. It's total BS and I'm not about to let them do that to me, so I make it a point to use as much data a month as I can, which usually turns out to be 15 gigs average but sometimes reaches 20. I'll go to sleep streaming and download files from bit torrent just to delete them right after I download them. So for me that means no upgrades so I still have the same phone I've had the last couple of years or so(HTC Rezound) which I got sometime in November of '11. I've changed three screens on it so far and a battery, lol. I also have the phone rooted so I've deferred all updates because I like my gingerbread or w/e OS I have on the phone. So I've never used JB or ICS. So while the sensor wasn't expensive I've just put off doing it because I couldn't tell you when was the last time I rotated my phone to the side lol.

I love it when the snakes feed like that!

My OG female has been shy since I got her, including feeding. Some days she's still a shy feeder, just plop the f/t rat in and walk away. One time I opened up her bin to offer a rat, and she came OUT of the bin to snatch it up. I was juggling the bin and her to keep her from falling all the way out, I was caught a bit unprepared for that kind of a reaction! lol

Almost all of mine are night shy feeders. I put the dead rat in front of their hide before I go to bed and when I wake up it's gone. I've only have a few I have to feed like this, but I find if mine don't make it on the first or second strike they won't eat at all.

Not to be rude but can someone tell me where to skip to in the video......

Great video Neal .... got some great feed responses on them .. u should start posting that video on all the peoples threads thats asking how its done ... cause it looks like u got it under control bro ...

I know, it makes me feel much better than having to worry when they'll eat next.

The joy is to watch the whole video. That way you know how I do things because I explain in the video and then you see the success I have with what I do.

Yea, well normally my Sable is the one that comes out of the tub but my sable pin did it that time. The Mahogany I've had for a few weeks but he's been a shy feeder, but once he settled in they're normally all aggressive feeders. The only one I have now that won't hit off the tongs is my Lesser Pastel but he still eats. I'll have to start posting videos like that, so they can get an idea.

I actually think the Mahogany came the closest to tagging me because I was far from expecting his feeding response to be like that out of the blue.
