I feed my scaly kids every Friday or Saturday (depending on when my rat/mouse dealer is at home LOL). My gang knows when feeding day is. When I get home Friday evening, everyone is out or have their heads poking out of their hides waiting for me to drop a rat or mouse in there. The rats and mice don't last more then 3 seconds in there with them before they are gotten & killed and eaten. My gang doesn't play on feeding day! Dar I not feed them on Friday! Saturdays they are even more ready aggressive to grab at whatever should happen to poke anywhere in their tubs.
