And it wasn't one of my beloved reptiles.... Rather, it was this little one. I believe she's pregnant with my first litter, so I'll give her a break. I definitely think I'd rather be bit by a ball python than a rodent though.
You can see my pastel het clown in the background, just chillin. If you want to improve your snake's feed response, give them a clear view of a rat enclosure... They can't see much when the rat's hides are in place, but sometimes they definitely notice all the movement from across the room.
