Behira (BI) struck the acrylic in anticipation, so that's still 5 strikes!
Behira really wanted her food dave,

What else is new?
I usually take the drape off really quickly and it’s 50/50 whether she has a preemptive strike.
Katie was helping and I didn’t explain that well to her and Behira went after the movement.
For her, it wasn’t a crazy strike. She was ready for the rat as soon as it went in.
Did you see Feliz tear apart his tank when he struck? He’s a hungry little guy.
Feliz is not going to like when I spread out his feeding schedule! Soon.

Nice videos Dak. I like the Slo mo, nice touch!
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

Re: Snakes Attack! Snakes Striking Prey (F/T) Video
6/6 tonight feeding and I got video of Yafe attacking from above, Jeff scaring me as he is getting brave becoming a real (striking) boa, Solana going ape, and Feliz doing his normal nail and wrap.
Jeff was so funny. He's really getting brave and struck as soon as the door opened (made me jump - he's never done that), then grabbed the tail, then struck again and got his bounty.

Wow they all hit those rodents really hard! I am guessing you rarely have meal skippers.

Shayna, my BP, happily eats F/T, and did tonight. However, she usually wants me to drop it and she pulls it into her hide and eats. Nothing dramatic there. She also goes on fasts like many BP's.
The corns, Yafe (the carpet python), and the boas do not miss meals except in shed, and then I don't usually offer. The corns would eat in shed, but it would mess up their sheds. Yafe refuses anywhere near shed, but the I've fed Behira (BI in blue) and it's a non-issue.

BP's are so funny with their eating habits. Yeah I don't offer in shed either, but I don't think my snake would eat either. They get rather cranky in shed so I just leave them alone.

Re: Snakes Attack! Snakes Striking Prey (F/T) Video
They've all got really strong feeding responses Dave! I love to see that!! Solana was in a real frenzy eh! I was feeding my 8 ft. female bullsnake a large rat last week when she shoots through the small door opening I'd made to throw her food in and completly onto the floor, knocking the rat out of my hand in the process. She started eating the rat quickly so I just picked her up with the rat in her mouth and gently placed her back in the enclosure. Fun times!

Wow! I've never had that experience but I can imagine it would be pretty startling even for an experience keeper.
