Re: F/T Feeding Behavior... A "killing" machine, my BP is not...

That is true, although Toby still doesn't strike... but with the others, it definitely gets a bigger reaction when I do the "zombie dance." The ones who rarely (if ever) take F/T will at least try to strike when I wiggle it on tongs.
Oh, and rather than dangling them by the tail, I'd suggest the neck scruff instead... then drag it on the floor (of the tub/tank) like it's walking normally, and sometimes that gets the snake more excited.
