Crazy Feeding Night - For My Crew Anyway

[dakski]

Last night was a weird feeding night.

Everyone who usually strikes fast and with gusto didn't. I used the wrong tongs, my spare set, that locks, instead of the non-locking ones, with Behira, and my BP, who has barely eaten all winter, and not since early January, gobbled down a rat.

1. Behira, my Ghost BCI, took about 4 minutes of staring at the rat, and almost coming out to see me, before striking. Very strange for her. Then she strikes, and I release the tongs and start to pull them out, and she starts coming with them! I used the locking tongs, my old spare set, instead of the non-locking tongs! I was so tired last night (long story) that I made a big mistake. Behira did not let go of that rat and tried to grab anything in her tank to stay in there. She flipped a house, banged the walls, etc. UGH! It all happened quick. Realizing she wouldn't release the rat for anything, I unlocked the tongs, shut the door, and walked away.

2. Yafe, my carpet python, who eats like clockwork, refused! He's going to shed soon, but that doesn't always stop him!

3. My 2 Corns, who are voracious eaters, both grabbed the mice off the tongs, but refused to coil, even when I pulled on the rodent. They were just like, "MINE! I eat now!"

4. Shayna, my BP, who fasts in the winter normally, hadn't eaten since early January and only 2 rats in the past 6 months, devoured a rat!

Overall. 5 out 6 snakes ate, and that's a good night!
