Ambush Feed

[Ax01]

***picture heavy post***


it’s been awhile since i posted my baby boy mojave bp Fiyero. he’s doing great, well above 200grams now. he’s shy and leaves his warm hide only a few times a week that i’ve noticed. he’s also a finicky eater, sometimes accepting f/t, sometimes turning the other way, zero interest. i feed him first and if he refuses f/t, Elphaba happily gets his reject f/t meal and Fiyero gets live the next day.


he currently lives in a tank with a lot of clutter. i feed him in tub b/c there’s just too many hides, plants, etc. for a mouse to get into that would prolong his feeding/hunt. anyway last night, he ambushed his live prey in tub. i thought it was really cool and i had my phone/camera handy. check out his sneaky feed.


imma hide... ...and be all sneaky.



lay and wait...



...waiting.



bam!



all wrapped up.



stop taking pix, can't u see that i'm eating ... yum!



yawn. (he’s turned the other way, but he's actually re-adjusting his jaw)



imma hide again. Shy... ...buh-bye



ok, nevermind. put me back in my cage.
