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!
