Ratsnake doesn't coil around prey
This is not a real problem since she only ever has been fed frozens. She's about 9 months old. When I first got her she was eating frozen pinkies and would just simply find the face of the mouse and then eat it. I can get her to strike sometimes, if I wiggle the mouse, but then she lets it go and eats it. She prefers to carry her prey to her hide to eat them. I'll usually just set the mouse down and she'll get it and then drag it backwards into her hide like a dog who's just found a really great bone. haha! But do you think she'll ever learn to coil and squeeze the prey? I wonder if this is a learned behavior, or maybe they start doing that when they get older. Just curious.
