X2. He should also be eating something bigger (if he'll take it.. )

She doesn't seem to like fuzzies as of yet. I typically feed her a few pinks 2x a week. She wrapped the little tongs and I didn't want to pry her off, her tail wrapped my finger, and she just did her thing. I just sat there very still until she was done. Never happened to me before with any snake I've kept.

Well since my snakes don't talk to me I just go off the signals they give. She ate that way and seemed fine. What if I tried to move her and stressed her out?...someone else would have had their theory about stressing them out too.

Yeah if this happened by accident then neat. It was not clear by your original post whether or not you picked the snake up and held it and dangled the pink in your fingers or something.
