    Weird feeding question

    This is my first BP. I know they can be picky eater and all but wondered if my snake is doing something unusual.
    She is eating the mice (I feed her F/T) but she wont strike at them she just eats them. I'm not complaining and am just glad she's eating. But wasn't sure if that was unusual or not

    Java does that at times. I'd just be happy she's eating and let her do it whatever way she likes.

    Yea, that's the mentality I was going with : )
    Keeva has been very picky with food. She will only eat at night, in her enclosure and with warmed food. She's a high maintenance little thing
    Thanks for the response.

    Sometimes the get lazy when eating ft. sometimes they just put their mouth on it, or very laid back bites and no constricting. Frozen can make them act funny when eating.

    Every once in awhile, one of my snakes will slowly mouth the mouse instead of striking. Most of the time, he still strikes though.

    Lots of snakes can do this. It's normal.
