I was wondering if anybody else ever expiernced this while they were feeding there ball.. After feeding my ball 1 mouse, I try feeding another.. When he strikes at it he will coil it up and begin to constrict it, but then will just let go.. I was wondering if this is just a defense bcuz it just isnt hungry or maybe the mouse scratching... He seems to only do this after he has eaten.. Anybody wanna share there thoughts?
