Re: 5 for 5 on snake feeding tonight, but not without some drama
7/7 again today!
Jeff and Behira were due to eat a few days ago but we were on generator power and I didn't want to risk it.
Behira hit the doors 2X again. I got the rat in there as quickly as possible and Behira ended up striking it and hanging out of her tank. That's a first. A quick test with the hook and she wasn't letting go of that rat, so I pushed her back in.
Jeff missed the prey and seemed befuddled for a bit. Then, after a few minutes of staring at the rat pup dangling from the tongs, struck harder than I have ever seen and coiled.
Everyone else was pretty status quo and it's always good when everyone eats!

5 for 5 on snake feeding tonight, but not without some drama
I always feed my big Boa, Punch first, otherwise he starts slamming into the door very aggressively and getting a crooked jaw.

The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

Please excuse the spelling in my posts. Auto-Correct is my worst enema.

I do feed Behira first! Still pounds the doors. I also feed as soon as the lights go out. That's when she starts hunting
Maybe she will grow out of it?
Probably wishful thinking!

I don’t know. My other Boa, Butch used the slam the glass a few years ago, but he quit doing it.
I’ve got to the point where I have to get to Punch’s cage quickly or he will slam. Before I enter with the rat I have the step stool in place, and unlatch the furthest door away from him, but leave the door closed.
I quickly go up the stool and drop the door and WHAM! It always get my heart pounding. Sometimes I’m not fast enough and he is flying through the open door as soon as it drops.
Punch definitely keeps me on my toes.
