:shock: Man....
In the first place my Ball Pythons seem to KNOW when I have arrived home with plump, juicy mice....I guess they must actually be able to smell them all the way from my living room because as soon as I walk into the bedroom/snakeroom they are out and they all have that alert and interested look on their faces...but what really freaks ME out is that they get so wired that they will often start lashing at the air in their excitement to feed...I mean it is like, toss a hapless mouse in the lair and get outa there!!!!!!!!![]()
sometimes, they hit the mouse before it even gets its feet on the substrate. At times like this I try real hard not to smell like a mouse. Got to be careful about that as I separate my BPs at feeding time. Oh yeah, my BPs all live with each other. One big 50 gallon tank, two hides and they LOVE it. they spend most of their time all coiled up with each other sleeping but when it is feeding time they emerge and wait for me to get them into their own feed box and in goes a nice fat mouse...yeah, I feed live too...been trying to get them to take F/T but havent had much success....so I merely thwack a mouse in the head and while it is still dazed and confused I toss it in and its all over with in about 30 seconds. :wink:
I love snakes...so wicked cool....
