Idris had his second successful feeding today and he only likes live pinkies. And they have to move. He watched it for about a minute and only got closer to it when it moved. I didn't get to watch the first feeding because he wasn't interested, ran from the pinkie when I dangled it for him. He started to run from this one so I dropped it and then he was interested when it righted itself.
He ate butt first and didn't constrict. Though from what I read, they don't necessarily develop that habit til they get to hoppers and larger prey. I just hope I can get him switched over to f/t by the time he's eating hopper sized.
But snakes just look so happy when they are eating. Its so cute. Though it's a bit morbid to hear the pinkie chirping from inside Idris...
