For some reason my big Normal girl was starving and I only thawed out one rat for her. I had a leftover live rat so I decided to give it to her instead of putting it in the CO2 chamber and then the freezer. As far as I know she's always been on F/T so I made sure to watch her.

She went crazy and went around her water bowl to strike. She was constricting and everything was fine until she started jerking around. I wasn't sure what was going on. The rat was biting her pretty hard on the neck and by the time I noticed what was happening it was too late to get in there. Sharon (the snakes name) had the snake by the bum and was dragging it around her tub.. She just did not want to let go. She was hanging half out of her tub but I knew better then to get in there.. I let her do her thing.

She was still holding it by the bum when I told her she has to let go of it LOL. Well she did let go and ithe rat jumped out of the tub.. In mid air she caught it again and she constricted it. 3/4ths of her body was hanging out of the tub so I carefully picked her up and put her back in. Tongs in hand I held the rats mouth this time .. just in case. She won the fight and she was very fat and happy afterwards.

I put some antibiotic cream on her boo boo and all's well. The crazy part? I got it all on video. Never expected to catch all that on vid. However, I don't know if I want to post it as the video may seem to some like I was irresonsible for letting her go through that even though there was nothing I could've really done..

Anyway.. Fun thread.
WOW that seems like some crazy stuff she dropped it it jumped and she grabbed it again i have to see that if u dont post it on the thread please send it to me that has to be awesome to see and u were right about not doing anything about the rat its either u deal with 1 wound or 2 because u know that rat would bite u too so i would have done the same just let it play out and be standing by ready to catch a run away rat good story
