So my recently adopted pastel is ravenous and wants to eat all the time. I found out that she is about 7 years old and only weighs in at 1300 grams so I honestly can't blame her. Poor baby! She tagged and constricted me for 5 minutes last week (totally my fault of course....I was feeding everyone) so this week when I had to go in her cage I knew she would try to tag me so I put a towel in first thinking she would just snap at the towel and then I could grab her out and everything would be fine.....well.....not so much....
I figured she would let go pretty quickly since it wasn't even warm or moving or anything but a she didn't care! She started to try swallowing even! I poured water over her face and everything and she stopped trying to swallow but wouldn't let go for about 10 minutes! I finally put a live mouse in with her and she let go. She didn't eat the mouse though....wth lol. Anyway....next time I will just let myself get bitten. I'm thinking once I get her on a better feeding schedule and she realizes that food is not going to be in short supply she won't be so aggressive. Sorry for long post....it is funny now but a bit scary at the time!
