I don't really have any weird or crazy stories yet. How are you guys holding the F/T in the tongs? I always grab by the butt/back so that Eva can strike at it head first, and she doesn't have to reposition herself to eat it. The only thing I'm pleased with is as soon as she sees the food, she's on it like white on rice.
"Like white on rice and a glass of milk on a paper plate in a snow storm!" That's what my best friend always says, haha!
I grab the mouse by the hind legs and base of the tail. My snake always seems to grab it sideways, though.
