So, I just fed Monty, after 15 minutes of watching her take down a mouthful of substrate and become disinterested in the rat, I sat here, frustrated, watching her look for food with the rat RIGHT THERE ! So, after a few minutes of brain storming, I remembered how she will watch the laser when I take temps. She will follow it all around the tank, much like a cat would. So how do you think I directed her attention back towards the rat? Pointed the thermometer in the tank, and pointed it towards the rat. She found him and started eating..
Are your snakes as interested in lasers as mine? Or is she just a weirdo?
Also, does your snake drag the rat around the tank before swallowing? As I'm typing this she whacked the rat against the side of the tank. Then into her water dish. Where she blew bubbles, I'm assuming she thinks it was the rat that blew the bubbles. She just coiled around him again. Definitely going to start taking her water dish out when I feed her.
Talk about a frustrating feeding.
