You know how a dog can take food out of the air if u drop it . Well so can ball pythons I found out. I did not have a very good hold on the mouse and I was holding it with tongs and I was trying to get a better hold on them and I dropped it and he snatched it and had it coiled up in nothing flat ! I was like " oh ok well u got go ahead " ...lol...lol He is doing soooooooooooooo much better then when I first got him he is getting fat and eating like there is no tomorrow
