Stupid Feeding Error - now with added blood

[dr del]

Hi,

I got careless again.

I went to offer Cleo a small rat and was annoyed to see that, despite me going at it like a good 'un with the hairdrier not 3 feet from her tub, she had not deigned to show herself out from under the newspaper.

So, rat dangling by the tail from one hand, I proceeded to try and lift the newspaper to find her head (despite my best efforts she seems unwilling to strike with her bum end ).

I lift one side..... nope no snake at all that side.

And so, braincells akimbo, I get the rat ready to dangle and reach out with my other hand to tweak the newspaper aside to let her ladyship see the rat.

Instant SFE.





She seemed a mite surprised ( possibly at the language ) but recovered well and got the rat I hastily waved in her direction.

I am proud to say she then heroically ignored my manly blubbering and wolfed down the rat like a pro.



Some day I really must remember to buy those feeding tongs.

Nothing wrong with a little whimpering afterwards..You should hear me lose my relegion when I get bit..

Heh heh,

When I saw the flash of accelerating snake head I just hoped she realised my mistake and didn't do the whole coil and grind the jaws in trick I got the last time - she's a big lass and that would have hurt.

I like my carpet, she knows when it's feeding time and comes hunting, I never have to hunt for her and stick my hands anywhere near the danger zone.

Danger, Danger, Danger! lol.

Big Baby.

If you have any manual dexterity, and since you're single I'm assuming you are quite dexterous with at least one hand, chopsticks can be fun as well as finger protecting.
