hey what do you know... I left him alone and went to check a few minutes ago and that rat was gone, instead all I saw was a nice big lump in my snakes belly. But I'm still interested if anyone has any input on the f/t thing.
My female normal does that. She does NOT like an audience when she eats. So normally when I feed her I walk away,then check again in about 20 minutes and the rat is gone.
