BP shaking and quivering...
This maybe a stupid question, in fact I am pretty sure the behavior was normal but it still made me wonder. My BP seems to be maturing a bit, spending lots of time in her hides yet very relaxed when held these days (no hissing, balling up etc...)
However last night when I fed her I noticed she was quivering. I held her for a bit and she seemed fine. Then I put her in the tank to to feed her two f/t mice, and actually used forceps because she was shaking and read to strike when I started to put my hand in (and I could see myself getting hit by accident). After the first mouse it continued, more head shaking, sniffing, something she has NOT done before. She took the second mouse with a vengeance and then looked around a bit more with the same intensity, moving her head in a rapid jerky manner.
Is that just the sign of a very hungry BP in full hunt mode? She is normal, not a spider, but it was odd because I have not seen that before. Since the behavior continued after the second mouse should I have offered a third mouse?
