Re: Bad aim
At least this rat was already dead (she eats f/t).

a great example of why f/t or at LEAST sufficiently stunned prey is a great idea...

Re: Bad aim
What a terrible feeder, you must send her to me! I will teach her how to eat properly! LOL. Most all of mine are on F/T, and I think that they get lazy in the way they feed because they know they can. Just the other day my big normal girl( who usually strikes like a freight train) decided I don't have to strike I am just going to politely take it from the tongs and swallow. Made me laugh, here I am waiting for the strike and she just slides up nice and polite opens up and starts to swallow. She could be ready to go off food for a spell as she has been breeding my Mojave boy for a while now. She is usually the one 1/2 out of her tub jaws a flyin' while I am getting her rat in the tongs!

If that was a live rat I imagine he would have had a coil around it very quickly. I have a male spider who only eats live and he's had a few sloppy strikes but got them coiled before the rat had a chance to do anything...I think the lack of movement with f/t eaters makes them a little lazy...

i have seen mine grab live prey in some very strange ways but always will keep coiling till they get them covered. a couple times they have let go and restruck its nature at its best noone defrost rats for them in the wild
