So since this mouse package came small I've been feeding him two mice to make up for it. Well when he smelled the mice via me getting them a little warmer with the hairdryer he was all over the place. I opened the lid up to hold his mouse out for him and he climbed up onto his tree branch and was half in and half out of his tank. He was striking all over the place then started to climb on top of the lid so I picked him up from behind and put him back in. He promptly went back up the tree branch, so I offered the mouse to him since he wasn't going to go for the normal on the ground feeding. He struck and pretty much let himself fall and coil around it. I put my hand underneath him on his way down so he didn't really fall. He ate that pretty quickly then went back up the tree branch. For the second mouse I tried luring him down from the tree branch but he wasn't leaving. He struck and this time hung upside down with his upper body coiled around the mouse. It was neat to see how he worked out eating upside down and hung up off the side to get the mouse down his neck.
He's always had arboreal tendencies.I swear every feeding is a different experience with him.
