Re: How does your snake tell you they are hungry?

Both my snakes' cages are currently facing my bed and for most of the time I've had them, I've fed on Sundays at noon. So I'll wake up on the weekend and see at least the BP (who's always been a fantastic eater, surprisingly) poking out of her hide and staring at me like she's waiting for me to get out of bed and prepare her food.
I usually feed the corn snake first too, who doesn't usually do anything to say she's hungry until I'm putting a mouse in there and then she'll nearly propel herself out of the cage. The BP sees this and gets excited, comes all the way out of her hide and rears up to get ready for her turn.

Yes, that reminds me...when I walk thru my house & serve up "dinner", I have the full attention of all my saying (with body language) "Oh Miss,
over here! I'll have what he's having..."

When Crowley is hungry and I bring over his feeding tub, the whole snake will quickly come out of his cave and coil up ready to strike right at the window as if saying just feed me in here. He used to get excited when he saw newspaper, as I put it in the bottom of his feeding tub but now that I have a macaw that uses tons of newspaper for pooping on, he no longer associates it with eating. The tub gets him in full feed mode, sometimes he looks at my hand like a potential meal as i pick him up to put him in the tub. He has never bit me though as I always wash my hands before and after feeding him and Crowley is a good smart snake that only attacks something that smells like rat.
I remember one time, it was feeding day and my husband made steak during the day. Crowley stuck his head out of his cave looking all pissed off like he wanted some, or at least something to eat. He ate like a champ that night. He also sometimes sticks his nose out when he smells bacon cooking, it's so cute. Here is a picture of him enjoying the smell of bacon (yes he had a towel as bedding but it was very temporary).

OMG that is so funny about smelling bacon!
