okay, so not the usual question as most people want to know how to get their bp to eat... well my beautiful boy just gets so darned excited to eat he can't even wait for me to put the mouse in his viv.

i like to take out the log and plastic plants etc before i put the mouse in as one time, (because he's so darned eager to eat) he didn't wait for the mouse to be in a good spot and had a heck of a time eating his dinner after he constricted it. (it was inside a knot of wood)

so today, i brought the mouse home and got to work getting his stuff out and as soon as i opened the top there he was... as always, in strike pose waiting for his dinner so, since i didn't want him to strike me, i just put the mouse in the other end and fortunately he took it down in a more open spot than last time.

i feed him one fat and squishy mouse once a week and it's like he knows it's feeding day. the other times, if i go into his viv he just happily comes for a slither around... no problems there... but on feeding day... watch out :eek:

i've tried taking everything out before i leave to pick up the mouse but he's in a total feeding frenzie by time i get home with the mouse and often strikes too soon - misses and the mouse gets panicked etc... not a good thing at all. should i start feeding him every 5 days instead? or perhaps go to two mice? he's a mere 6-7 months old.

any suggestions?
