I had a rather disgusting feeding event this past weekend. I've seen my share of gross things, but this is near the top.

I'm going along feeding my snakes F/T rats and I can always tell which ones are going to strike fast and which ones I have to do the rat dance. One of my larger females was chomping at the bit for her meal, so I was ready.

I grab the rat behind the neck and proceed to open the bin and dangle it for her, when she strikes just like I expected. The only thing is that I was still holding onto the rat... body. My snake completely decapitated her and she proceeded to (try) to strangle the life out of the head. I didn't know what to do so I just placed the body next to her hoping that she would get a clue and finish eating the entire meal.

No such luck. I came back about an hour later to a decapitated rat body. I tried dangling it in front of her because she was clearly hungry, but I guess the mangled corpse even grossed her out. I tried feeding the thing to my other snakes that didn't eat yet, but they would have none of it as well.

So I did what any snake enthusiast with multiple snakes would do... I fed it to my BCI.
