    Bottoms up!!!

    It's funny, when you read about all the different eating habits of different snakes, personality right to the end. Moko always does this "straight up" finish each time he eats. The first couple of times I fed him he flinched a little when I went to put him back. Now he just patiently waits without moving to be put back home. He's even starting to come out of his enclosure into my hands without me having to reach for him. It's so cool Super glad that I chose a ball for a pet. Now I'm hooked though and the wife and I are thinking about maybe getting another snake. A female fire maybe for some possible future breeding , who knows but it'll be awesome I'm sure!

    Oh sorry about the pic quality but, I take them through glass at a low light. Would like to use a flash but don't want to stress him while he eats

    My 1st BP always does this. I think only the younger ones do it to help them self using gravity.

    It doesnt take long to get hooked on them. In about 6 months I went from no reptiles to 10 (As seen in my signature)
    Reptiles
    5.0 Normal Ball Python (Ares, Poseidon, Hermes, Zeus,Spots)
    1.0 Striped Blood Corn Snake (Apollo)
    1.0 Lemon Blast BP (Hades)
    0.1 Bumble Bee (Athena)
    0.1 Pastel (Hera)
    1.0 Hypo Leopard Gecko (Jupiter)

    Dogs
    1.0 Chihuahua (Peanut)
    0.1 Morkie (Bella)
    0.1 Pitbull (Roxy)


    Rodents
    2.0 Chinese Dwarf Hamsters (Bubbles and Nitro)\
    0.1 Normal Chinchilla (Chloe)

    All my BPs do this. I love watching it. All except 1 of my snakes are adults. I think they do it because the tail is so thin after the bigbut they are trying to get more muscles into play to get it down.
