Hi folks...your friendly neighborhood pest again.

2 questions I guess this time....

1. I got out of the hospital on Thursday, and fed Nag on thursday. was late because I was going to feed him Sunday night, and never got around to it in between passing out, and have my arms stuck up like a pincushion.

I also offered him a mousie tonight as well, as this is my usual feeding schedule...Sunday evenings. Well, he ate Thursday really well, and he snapped up his mousie tonight as well.

does this mean I should start feeding him twice a week, or is it that the mousie was too small?

2. this is a little weird

When I fed Nag tonight, I did the warm-it-up thing (thanks again whoever suggested I do that lol) and put it down right in front of Nag's nose. he snatched it up so fast...it was so cool.

anyway, he seems to want to start eating the front limbs first, which is now unusual I know...he has to work around to the head. but here's where it got weird tonight.

nag struck and coiled...most impressively I must say, and did the suffocation thing...but then when he started to eat the mousie, he had trouble getting to the head. or at least I thought it was trouble.

I watched him for 10 minutes...rubbing his chin all over the mousie, and tongue-flicking all up and down the body of the mouse. it looked to me like when he was chin rubbing like he was looking for the head so he could eat, but the he started to wander away from the mousie somewhat, and would go back to it. it has never taken him this long to eat before, and it tripped me up.

I ALWAYS make sure to point the head of the mousie so Nag doesnt struggle with it, and that has worked well except for the past 2 feedings. now dont get me wrong, he is still eaitng, and well, but that odd behaviourism was strange to watch.

anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? Just wondering if this is normal and nothing to worry about.

thanks
